> Guys,

> My wife and I have found a house here in Greensboro we really
> like, but I have a few concerns. The house is approx. 54 years
> old, with an addition on the back that's approx. 15-20 years old.
> The addition has grounded, three prong outlets, but the front
> portion of the house, where my "office" would be, have the older
> two pronged, non-grounded outlets.
>
> On a given day, I run a 120 mhz firewall/router, a 900 mhz
> Athlon, a 2200XP+ Athlon (1800mhz) with a lot of components, and
> a 2.0 Ghz laptop pretty much 24/7.
>
> What are the concerns with going into a house like this with my
> power usage? I do know that it's on a circuit breaker
> system...not fuse box. And I plan on having an electrician come
> in a replace one outlet with a grounded, dedicated circuit so my
> computers will all plug into this outlet.
>
> Anything I'm missing or not considering? I've never purchased a
> home with old wiring so I'm a little wary, but we're probably
> putting an offer in today. I know that grounding all outlets in
> the house will probably be pretty darned expensive, so if I don't
> have to, I don't want to!
>
> Let me know asap if you have any comments/suggestions. Thanks guys!
