My previous computer fell victim to a nearby lightening strike. I knew the UPS passed a surge because it began squeeling like a stuck pig.
I thought "no problem, APC has equipment protection!

"
BUT.......that's only IF you fill out the card with the exact equipment that you have plugged up to it. Well I didn't do any of this.
So.........enter..........my new computer.
It's an HP.
Intel Q6600 Quad Core Processor
4gigs of DDR Ram
Windows Vista 64 bit
750 Gig hard drive
Nvidia 8500GT Video card - Built in TV tuner
CD/DVD burner with lightscribe technology
The display for this is a 46" LCD TV Tuner.
It's on a 5 meg per second download broadband connection.
I like it.
