I'm fairly new on this site and I see where a lot of you worry about power spikes and outages. Just about everyone has a sruge protector but it seems as if no one has a power back up system. I have two computers and both of them are on aN APC Backups pack. They allow me enough time to turn off the computer properly. For the cost of a mobo and precessor you can afford one better than the lost of data or your whole system. Also they can act as a filtering device if you go on generator power during a power outage.
And with all the LCD and plasma tv's today, they could save you a lot of money. www.APC.com has all the poop on them and they have a great warranty on them to boot.

Jump to PostThe "Backups" is called a UPS, Uninterruptible Power Supply.
Care to tell us how you determined the proper Volt-Amp size you needed for your computer?
Jump to PostAPC is the manufacturer, UPS is the product.
Ohm's law is useful only if you add all of the combined wattages of the combined devices.
