EVERYONE Needs A UPS & Surge Protector For Their PC... Right?!

When setting up your brand new PC, it's easy to forget essential equipment protection like surge protector power strips. But did you know that some people argue that a UPS is "necessary" too? I actually use a combination of surge protectors, UPS backup power and Ethernet Surge Arrestors in my home (and garage). Why is this? And why do some people claim that surge protectors are a rip-off?

I explore all these topics and more in this video.
