Hey There,
Had a bunch of storms this year and lost my power a few times in this last one. I have some cheap $20 Belkin 12 outlet surge protectors for all of my stuff. (Imac, Gaming PC, Projector, etc). They did the trick, and nothing was damaged, but it got me thinking and the more i researched the more i realized these might not be so great.
Is there like a gold standard surge protector out there that would be good for protecting my stuff from outages? i am not worried about direct lightning strikes or anything, and i have no use for a UPS, unless they somehow are better than a surge protector at actually protecting the hardware.
I was looking into the tripp lite isobars and also the tripp lite 12 outlet TLP1208TEL which has an auto shutoff when the protection wears out.
Any advice is greatly appreciated, invested a ton in my gear and would hate to lose any of it because of something stupid.
Thanks a bunch
