Can an executor get any of the computer equip he wants before the siblings?

The executor is supposed to execute the terms of the will. If the will says that "person X" gets any computer equipment of the decedant's that he wants, with the remainder going to the siblings, then person X gets it, whether person X is the executor or not. If it says the computer equipment goes to "the siblings", then that might be a gray area if the executor is one of the siblings, but usually an equitable distribution is implied, so the executor can't say "I'll take the Cray YMP, and you can have the Apple II". An executor who violates the terms of the will is acting in bad faith, and you should retain a lawyer to file a complaint with the probate court.

No. Basically you start a new after filing. Your pre-petition assets are used to pay your pre-petition debts. That's bankruptcy. You should understand it before you do it. You don't chose what assets, and/or which debts...everything in your past gets involved. Then you start a new.
