I've been looking at these (or at least trying to) since I built a new PC the other day. I have had PC's since 1998 with only 1 motherboard needing replacing on a low end PC in that time, I have components that have been in daily use for 17 years with no issues. Not that I'm trying to talk myself out of buying a surge protector, but I notice that they are almost impossible to find at a high joule rating for the UK market. I understand from articles that at least a 2000 joule rating is needed for a gaming PC, as far as I can see that level of protection just does not exist for the UK, is it because of our household electrics are better than other countries such as the U.S. ?
Anyway, how many here always use them for their prized PC's?

and some time likely before we get fibre to the premisses as well.
