Can you guarantee that I could run my 60" Samsung LED TV, desktop computer, or laptop safely without burning them out? I don't want the added expense

I week ago I would have recommended this unit. The other day the electrical generator quit. I have now had the engine quit and the generator quit on this thing. Getting rid of it and its only 2 years old.

No problem. During an outage in March 2012, I powered our churches ministry center and food pantry. We had hear, lights, water from our well and kept 4 freezers operating. Shouldn,t be any problem with a large screen tv and computer and lights. It should keep a whole house going.

I have experience with this issue firsthand. The Powerland generator did not produce what is called "clean" electric. The fluctuations in current, etc. were too significant for safe use with delicate electronics. I strongly recommend that you research the particular generators you are considering and get actual data regarding the output fluctuations. I think most electricians would recommend that your fluctuations are not more than +/- a few percent. This Powerland generator produced such "dirty" electric that even with a separate electric purifier that I added, the purifier would reject the Powerland's electric supply.

I run several tv's computers/laptops..fridge...big freezer...and depending on the season heat or AC...stovetop works well...not the oven..can't guarantee anything, but I have had no trouble.

Also, I forgot to mention . . . when I tried to get around the problem and power an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with the Powerland (as a way to protect my electronics), each of the 3 types of UPS's that I tried to use rejected the Powerland's electric as too unstable.

Yes. Although you may want to overestimate your requirements for that power supply. These boards are quite efficient, but not 100%, so your supply will need to provide &gt;30 watts to get 30 watts to the LED. Anyway, in all cases it is a good idea to have 30% or so overhead on your power supply.

I don't see a problem with that. Though it might pose an issue if you have a lot of extra components drawing power i.e., several hard drives or really beefy fans.

Sure, that would work great. You could plug a power strip in and turn everything on or off. Just be sure that if you un-plug and re-plug in, some things do not automatically turn on (ex: newer Ac's, TV's)

You can, but it may not dim the LEDs the way you expect. It shouldn't hurt the power supply though.
1434966
Yes, and you can use any kind you want, but probably not very hot though. Probably around 60w

Generally a 600W PS should work fine.If it's a new build with the top or higher end components I would go with a least 700W min. I realy would not go below 700W to be safe that way you can add HDs DVDs later and be safe.A little extra won't hurt and modular keeps it clean and helps with air flow. You also need to check and clean the dust inside once a year or as needed.

Yes, not sure what you are asking either, but the reply from uberzilla should help! It is also my understanding that you don't need to worry about going too high on the watts, although there's no point in wasting your money for more watts than you need to power your system/graphics card.
1442863
Yes this is correct. Be careful to stay under the wattage I used two on mine to run all the things that I needed. You can use as many as needed to run everything.

If it is a good PSU like a Corsair, Seasonic or an Antec you will likely be fine. With a cheap PSU it will likely shut down your computer periodically at best and instantaneously at worst.

Depends on what else you're running but, I would recommend at a minimum a 550 watt unit; 650 would probably be better; 850 if you want to future proof your computer. This all assumes you're using a desktop and not a laptop computer.

I don't think that would be a good idea.. It's always best go by manufacture recommended wiring and amplification. Exceeding the power input beyond its capacity on any electronics could cause things to quite literally fry.

The one I had lasted 3 years running almost constantly. My video card went bad and took it with it. I upgraded to an 800 Watt Thermaltake model when I replaced the video card. You didn't mention what else you are running like additional hard drives or DVD / CD drives. It's a good, dependable power supply, so it may be all you need. Personally, I would go a little bigger.

I do not like those monitors two of mine lasted three weeks and over heated. BUT, if you have the right cables, yes you can.
2117979
Yes, Less watts will not hurt it. You will just not be getting full power out of it.
2167494
Most likely not, you simply wouldn't have enough current available. I wouldn't use anything less than a 750 W

I'm not a designer or engineer so I can't answer you regarding that. I wouldn't risk it, wouldn't want to potentially ruin my TV.
