adam s asked: I want to buy protection for some high end DJ equipment, and was wondering if it was worth it. A surge protector i need would cost around $25, as opposed to one with a power conditioner in it for ~$100.
Is it worth the extra $75?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the great answer! Ill just buy a regular power strip!

Cupooterluvr asked: I wanted to be able to use the switch outlet, but my computer’s surge protector covers up the other hole… Can I plug the surge protector into a power strip (the plug isn’t angled on the power strip) without overloading it? Nothing is changing about the arrangement of the plugs on the surge protector except that I’m plugging a lamp into the switch outlet.

Andrew B asked: I have never heard of anybody having their electronics damaged by a surge of electricity. Up until computers came in, nobody used them. Are computers really that sensitive to surges? Do you know anybody who has had a problem because they didn’t use the surge protector? Maybe its just a scam to sell them.

Computer Head asked: When things are plugged in they use energy even when they are off, but does plugging the things into a surge protector and turning off the surge protector when not in use stop the power from going to the devices?

justifythegame asked: My ps3 has been over heating and malfunctioning. I’ve had it repaired several times. My friend told me that my outlets are too old and not sending enough power to my ps3 and it can’t cool itself off. I know using a surge protector protects from power surges, but are there any that can actually send more power than if i just plugged in my ps3 to the wall outlet?

Buck Nasty asked:
Like just a week or two ago, a storm knocked out our power and that ruined my last computer, because it was plugged in directly to the outlet. Well someone said if I had plugged it into a surge protector, it would have saved my computer from being damaged. This current computer is in a surge protector and it’s starting to storm out and getting windy. So if the power goes out again, will my computer be alright this time?
