Well, im going to assemble a computer taiwan with all its components....from what i know...the power supply in taiwan is 110...
I'll be bring the computer to philippines...which has the power supply of 220..
so im asking which part of the computer should i look into so the voltage complements with the philippines?
or if this really matters?

Get a good power supply that has voltage auto-ranging or auto-volt. You can use it anywhere where there is an AC outlet. Sample:

Only the power supply matters... and if you get a universal one (100-250V, 50-60Hz...) then that will cope in the Philippines or Taiwan.
The power supply turns voltages from AC mains to DC... so the inside runs off low voltage DC only. They won't care what mains voltage you use provided the power supply works.
Oh, same goes for the monitor power supply as well!

The power supply unit.
It will probably a largish box at the top rear of the computer (and will be where you plug the power lead in).
You should be able to swap it out for a local model if it doesn't have a voltage switch on it.

Buy a transformer that would convert the 220V into 110V and then connect your computer. Or buy an AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) that has 110V outlets included. The computer would blow up if you connect it directly into the 220V outlet. Be every SURE you get it right. It could cause a fire.
