    19" computer rack choice

    Since it is the densest in weight, a UPS should always be placed at the bottom of the rack to keep the overall center of gravity low. APC supplies wide head bolts or special washers which pass through and engage square holes. Cage nuts are not needed.

    Which modem?

    #2 the Netgear C7000 is a 3.0 cable modem and router combo. OP does need to clarify. If you are using a major cable ISP they probably support mid-split 3.1. I don't know if the MB8600 is mid-split capable, the SB8200 is not. #4 and 5 are discontinued wifi router-only devices with small CPU...

    assisted stranger; she was unfamiliar with new hybrid CR-V

    I assume she already tried to drive in the usual way, but the car would not move because something is wrong with it. And yes "dead battery" is one of the things that can go wrong.
