Hardware - November 2007

I mean, in a store (not ebay), even if they don't make them anymore?

I live in the province of Quebec, close to Ontario, any store name that could still sell it? Used or new...

Can someone explain to me how the psu works?

For example, a psu specifications listed are: +3.3V@17A, +5V@25A, +12V1@16A, +12V2@18A, -5V@0.5A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3.0A

How do watts, voltage and amps fit in?

I'm trying to see if I need to buy a new psu for a new graphics card I'm buying, but I'd also like to understand how this works.

There are ants in my laptop. I dont eat near it and maintain it properly. And it is not even a year old. Every time I open the laptop, i see one or two ants running around the keyboard. I had tried blowing air through the holes. And a few more emerge. When i removed the battery i saw a fes duck back into the laptop. So what can I do to clean up other than ofcourse handing it over to service personal. Will using a vaccum cleaner help? Also why are there ants inside a laptop - is there any sugary component inside? Please help me, its frustrating to see ants running across the monithor and keyboards while working.

Im sure I would get this much cheaper on a store here than ordering one from the net.
Give a list of stores where I might possibly acquire one..
