Beware!

There are many PCs out there being sold which don't comply with the
requirements of the relevant Australian Standards.

Although it is up to the Government(s) to enforce compliance by making
appropriate laws, some States (e.g. W.A.) don't have such laws so it's
up to the consumer to be aware of the requirements for their own
safety.

In general, the computer must have an externally-visible electrical
rating and compliance label. If no such label is visible either on an
outer face, it may be behind a user-access cover (e.g. hinged door).
Your local electricity authority can supply further information
relating to the relevant Australian Standard.

Personal computers are usually powered by a switch-mode power supply.
It is important that this complies with one or more recognized
standards such as UL, VDE, ASA, etc. If there is no compliance label
on the power supply, or on the outside of the case, then you should
assume that it does not meet the minimum safety requirements for
electrical safety. e.g. the case or connected components may become
live under certain circumstances.

Be careful!
