oh yeah, also this. The $200 one I suggested is ultra-low-end, especially
for that voltage. good ones with similar specs (like APC) are around $400
and up, and that's still for one minute of protection. To be honest, I've
stopped even bothering with UPS's and just got excellent surge protectors.
What with auto-save and backups I haven't had a disaster yet...
