Agreed - I use surge protectors for most electrical equipment, as they are so cheap nowadays.

All my stuff is surge protected, well it might as well be since the 6 way surge protection extension leads at ASDA were 2 for £8 or £7.97 each :erm:

If you can somehow get your hands on a surge protector with Internet access you`ll surely win hands down, even with your solitary Desktop.;)

My surge protector has a telephone socket, does that count? ;)

Re: How many PCs does your household have?
 

A lot of us have all their PC's, multimedia, networks, hifi, TV's, all linked together.
Imagine if you got a huge surge or lightening strike!

It would be the end of the world as we know it!

Which is the reason why I bought my surge protectors. Thet are really cheap these days.

There I was thinking that I was excessive. Looks like I'm just fine.

1 x work laptop
1 x personal / study laptop
1 x desktop

Apart from those wife and myself have a PDA each for when on the move, and there's a Wii.

Other than that a couple of routers, one for each Internet connection, one of which is a PC of sorts.

These are between 2 adults and a child. Unsure what else apart from a perhaps a file server, which is in progress, we'd need, more than 1 machine per person strikes me as being unnecessary but each to their own I guess :shrug:

Mums laptop
My Tower
Dad's Tower
Dad's Work Laptop
Media Center Pc
Server For Film's Etc

Mac are however are Personal computers but that is not I believe is not the spirit which PC was intended :)
