I have my computer hooked up to a battery back up surge protector. If the power goes out then the battery kicks in and is good for 20 minutes. I like it because it gives me time to shut everything down.
One thing I did not know when I got my fist computer is that if you are using dial up you need to have your telephone wires going through the surge protector too. I thought I was protected until lightning hit the telephone wires and I didn't know to have them protected. Result - fried modem.
All surge protectors are not high quality. To get the maximum protection for your electronics, I suggest you buy the top of the line, it might cost a little more, but it is worth it.
