Porter Cable Transformer (not the robots) question

Another (probably dumb) PC question, but are there any preferences as to which type of transformer to use with the 7424? I've seen these on ebay and am leaning towards getting the one in the first link.
Transformer 1
Transformer 2
Transformer 3
Cheers,
Kam

i have a 1.0 KVA transformer for mine - it looks like the second one. you will need to change the plug over from the porter cable but it is a quality unit and very strong.

The first and third have incorect sockets for a PC dont they? The one I have is similar to the middle one. I'd go for that one

Its the second one you need, although its overkill (I use one of those because it will run my PC and rotary together if needed, or rotary and site lights).
The first and third ones will melt, they are for powering a telly, or electric razor or something.
