Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

This month, ATI's new Radeon HD 4770 is missing in action, since online stores are not only unable to keep it in stock, but also de-listing it completely. With violent movements in pricing, though, it'd have been taken off the recommended list anyway. Read more

Well those top quality are very expensive but I would go for the Belkin. Try getting it from your locat store like Circuit City, BestBuy, etc and try it to see if the those affordable ones are good enough.

BTW, I did pick up on the sarcasm. This is so I can stop feeding my PC dirty AC power... The power lines out here are crap... This is the "Power Supplies, PC Cases & Case Mods" Forum no?

Either that or you didnt read the post.

Dirty Ac...You mean unreliable? You have alot of outages? It sounds like what you're actually looking for is a ups. Other than that I don't know what you mean by "dirty power" Ac can be unreliable and may vary in voltages a bit so if you're looking for a power conditioner or uninteruptible power supply say so. But what exactly is "dirty power"?

For example... My tv shows some static and my monitors (all of them) dont do well on certain refresh rates... There is audible noise on all my audio systems...

Im talking interference in the wall lines...

Yeah the last few years here in Florida have been good power wise but when I first moved here I had the exact same issues ! You might actualy look into a good UPS they do filter your AC (at least the more expensive units do) its gonna cost you some money but its worth it not having to replace parts and things becouse they burned out.

Edit: After thinking about this for a minute maybe you could buy some RF chokes ? They sell them at Radio Shack but this will only help if your getting static thats being hmmmm inducted into the AC line ? of course you may also want to check your EM at your box strong feilds can cause health problems and in extreme cases halucinations and mood swings... Electricity is such a wonderfull thing :)
