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

I shop first for the features I want, then the size, then the color, finally by price. The features I want are:
Add a whole house surge protector in your breaker panel and then don't worry about it.
Or something heavy duty if you're asking this question: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000511U7/
Thanks! I’m going to look into the whole house protector, was not aware of that option.
I use a UPS which also adds surge protection in addition to the battery. One of the best investments I have ever made, especially since I live in a big apartment and from time to time there's some neighbor doing idiotic things to the wiring on the building.
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.
