Good news finally coming back to me

[shizzzon 461]

Well, when my city lost power from Ike's winds, our generator somehow malfunctioned and damaged a lot of my equipment that was on surge protectors...

We are in the process of getting hard-wired protection, regulators and new protectors so that should take care of all that.

Anyway, it damaged a PSU, my razor, 1 surge protector, my 51" rear projection tv and some plugs.

Well, after a week of researching and researching, i'm slowly getting things back out of my pocket and in about 25 minutes, hopefully i'll post on here a deal of a lifetime but if i dont win this item i'm bidding on, then i don't care.

I had planned on upgrading one of my pcs before this happened... I'm still expecting too especially now!

I just won me a Quad 2.5ghz processor(Intel Q9300) on ebay for $198 ShiPPeD!

Newegg is going to be shipping me an Asus board that supports ATI Crossfire with 4 GB of Corsair DDR2 1066 memory for only $290 for both the board and memory.

I'll be postin back soon on this "item" i'm trying to win for an ungodly low price. Let's see what happens.

Gas-tube arc protection?

The problem is, a lot of hard-wired protection solutions that last are pretty slow to react to surges. The ones that act fast don't last long and require frequent replacement. And against a power company that doesn't care about its customers or a direct lightning strike, I don't know of anything that's 100% effective But anything's better than nothing...and I've had some friends that have used stuff like that on their phone/data lines to good effect.

Think about it this way..in five years, you couldn't pay people to move that TV
