Greetings,

I have a question:

I have a 100 amp electrical service at my home (instead of what I understand is the typical 200 amp service).   I'm wondering if that will limit me in anyway when purchasing a computer.

My heating is gas, my dryer is gas, my water heater is gas as well.


Looking to buy an computer close to these specs:

i7 950
120-128 gb ssd hard drive
1 Tb hard drive
5870 or 5970 Video card
850-1000 watt power supply.

Thanks in advance

In a word NO. That said it is a good idea to run a single outlet 15 or 20 amp circuit strictly for your computer and make sure it is properly grounded. I have my computer setup on a single circiut as well as my A/V system and that way I know I have clean power to them with no interference from the wifes hair dryer etc and I also know exactly what is on the circuit.

Thankyou.

No worries about the wife's hair dryer as I am not married.
