Mine run happily off 60Hz. AFAIK, there are no power supplies which alter
line frequency; that would probably involve going to DC and back through an
inverter. The PSUs that I got are 750W units, and cost about $40 each. I'm
even running some U.K. hi-fi equipment off them (albeit with a bit of ground
hum, since the power sockets in this house aren't grounded properly).
