    You're smarter than me. I've been in the process of rearranging my computer desk and my computer was temporarily plugged directly into the wall.

    I'll be using my phone to order parts for a new computer today.

    Oh, well. I needed a new one, anyway.

    Yeah. I'm not sure what got fried but with a computer this old it's not worth the bother to figure out.

    I like my old case, though, so at least I know this will be another mini-ITX build. I'm just not looking forward to all the typing on my phone that's gonna happen today.

    Hoping like hell the $8k I just spent on a whole house generator will make not being able to stock a freezer, without risking losing most of it, a thing of the past.

    Been on my bucket list for years of living on the Gulf coast.

    I would triple the recommended grounding on that generator. Grounding is paramount to keep them in good working order.

    I wouldn't. Lightning will take the path of least resistance.
    The better your grounding is, the better chance the spike comes through your equipment to earth ground. Let the utility equipment bleed the lightning off and you're better off. The automatic transfer switch doesn't break ground. Does it?

    Would the utility equipment grounding being sub par change that logic? Or sandy conditions?
