Everyone should have a surge protector. And also, the UPS's are generators I think. I wondering what kind of sinewave they put out. I never thought about that until now. I'm not an expert on this but my understanding was if you have potentially irregular electricity, the artificial sinewave generated by a decent UPS will help reduce risk of issues with your PSU. It's not really an issue for me but just something I remember reading and thought may as well invest in protecting my $5k desktop and prevent data corruption if power suddenly goes out. I think what you wanted was a surge protector. Unless you experience a lot of power outages. And as for the sine wave thing. It's hard to find a good Pure Sine Wave generator, or converter..which is what this is. So I would imagine, they are not putting out a pure sine wave. idk... Either way, unless you lose power all the time, a surge protector is probably what you need. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.
