I have always been a fan of the whole
house surge protectors. Most people complain about the price but as you can
see, just once is worth a lot of money in aggravation alone.

[ukha_d] AAAARGH DAMMIT! |
I just had a damn power spike wipe out my "Entertainment" PC,
which I use to
play Mp3 music, DVDs and to surf from the sofa!!!!
After a quick scout through the guts of the box, I have a fragged
Motherboard (a Soyo 6BA+III, one month out of warranty) and an ATI
All-in-Wonder 128, again just over the year old... i suppose I should
be
happy that everything else (PIII800EB and 196Mb of ram are the main things
I
am happy about) are okay....
So, what do you folks do about power protection? are these surge
resistant
power strips any use at all?
Does X-10 actually cause power spikes? (I ask, because I am sure that I
can
hear my applicance modules "tick" on the speakers when they
switch on and
off)
Ian.
