    I have a desktop computer a monitor and a printer, it is not a work related computer , would YOU settle for a good surge bar or would you spend a lot of extra money on a APC UPS device ? thanks.

    Surge protectors causes fire bcz of discharging in plastic and overheating the MOV nonlinear resistor is like a lighting to strike in that outlet

    If your bricks are taking too many outlet spots use very small extension cords like 8 inches.
