jhector Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I have two machines running in the same room, as well as printers scanners etc etc. What, if any surge protection do people use. I'm concerned that I might loose the lot if I don't protect properly. Do I protect the mains power supply, and or the phone (dsl) as well? :right: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 lol, i went down to robert dias and got one for 10 quid, now to see what it says.... tis 'power clean' tis worth it for such a small amount of money... although the chance of getting cooked by a power surge is small, imagine what it would be like if your mobo got cooked!

Osiris Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Yes indeed I am faced with the same problem But here in Aus a descent 6 socket surge protector is $70 and it protects agaisnt low level lighting strikes and the surge protector comes with a guarentee that if any equipment is damaged from lightning or power surges while using the protector they will replace the equipment upto the value of $25,000 how good of a deal is that, you cant go wrong with a deal like that.

Max Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 oh yeh, mine comes with a ludicrous compensation if the product fails. strange that tis so expensive for you tho, mine is 6 socket, and i am sure it is not too bad a make (who cares, the stupid compensation would pay for a brilliant new pc 2x over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPS's are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
