Been really busy after first, my cousin’s PC had the mainboard killed by a freak lightning incident… then came my brother’s PC. Oh well. Looks like the only trustworthy proven protection is APC! My two PCs and my parents’ PC were totally unaffected thanks to APC’s Back-UPS ES and Back-UPS CS.

So play safe, get APC! Oh, if you have a Back-UPS 350 CS or 500CS, there’s a voluntary recall of some models. You might want to check here if your model is affected.
