Hey guys,

Just wondering what surge protectors you use with your PCs? Getting into a stormy season and trying to prepare.

Definitely look into a UPS if you are worried. It can help with shoddy power or blackouts. Some also have surge protectors built in. A 1500VA one should be 1,000w equivalent. The batteries are lead acid, and generally only last a few years.
