3)how is you weather, in South Florida during the summer lighting is not only daily but at times hourly..
4)do you condition your power.. I have a 750 watt UPS system on my PC and a 500 watt on my plasma TV & stereo,, plus I have additional in line serge protectors.

1) No it's not. I have my PC set up in a central room, that usually stays cool.
2) Don't really have an issue with the Power Grid here, and have to worry about "Brown Outs" or "Rolling Black Outs"
3) Colorado, semi arid. Not a lot of Humidity to worry about here.
4) "Condition your Power". I'm in the dark on that one (no pun intended
). I have my PC, Monitor, and Modem plugged into a surge protector. We occasionally get some good lightning storms here, like in Florida, and the lights will, dim then brighten, when there's a nearby strike occasionally. But very rarely.

I use the old "ball" type mouse. I do clean it and the pad, usually once a month.
Again, thanks all, for the advice.
