I am going to rent in a space that has old electrical 2 prong plugs. I understand a proper conversion into 3 prong grounded plugs is big deal. How big of a deal is it? The house is a 3 floor house with a single breaker box.
What about GFCI options? Would they work here?
I have your typical AT member electronic package. A 700 watt PSU quad core comp that is critical to my work and 2 laptops, 46" LCD, surround speakers. Probably all in the same room. Do you think using 2 to 3 prong converters and a cheap power conditioner on the sensitive electronics would suffice? Would a cheap battery backup or voltage regulator or high quality surge protector be ok?
Would you suggest getting a cheap A/C tester to check out the lines? If so can you recommend one.
I know nothing about electrical so please speak layman and if you suggest something, please link a product or something.
thanks
