When I talked to the insurance claim person the other day on the phone. They told me to make a list of the parts that where in the computer and all that well I did and the prices are...

4384.56 for the desktop

About 1750.00 for the laptop.

I got a $250.00 deductible

If the power company was at fault it's often possible to get them to reimburse.

I suggest trolling newegg's refurb deals.

Had a pal pick up a beast 2k rig for 600$.

That sucks man. See you when you get back!

Some surge protectors come with a warranty that protects any equipment connected to them. In fact I recommend finding one when you get your new machines. You can find them at any place like Staples, and they're not too expensive, less than $100.

huehue...Staples. Can't speak for the US but they've got really overpriced for everything here.
