Electrical problems with wiring
Hey! Think this is the right place for this. So the wiring is my house, not my PC, it's an old house with ancient wiring, no grounds and the power fluctuates and lights flicker at times. So for almost the past year I've had a $5,000 PC sitting gathering dust because I don't want to plug it in the the horrid electrical. Though I had an idea, there is 1 (yes one (1)) outlet that was redone a few years ago and has new wiring with a ground, so my idea is I run an extension cord from this outlet to my desk where I'll have it plugged into a (1350W) UPS that I'll have my PC plugged into. The UPS would protect against power fluctuations, flickering (same thing?), and brown outs right? So does this idea sound like it'd work??? I'm crazy excited! My PC has been gathering dust for almost a year (11 months!!!) and if this idea works I'd be so happy!
