Surge Protector?

[Merkwürdigeliebe]

I've been running off an old HP surge protector that came with an all-in-one pre-built package.

Now with my new build, this surge protector's got to go along with my current POS box that I call a computer, which I'll probably hand off to my sis.

Anything you guys can recommend in particular? I'm rather cheap about surge protectors, and I have no idea what to look for in them.

anything that I can find here for less than $15? -> Buy Computer Parts, Computer Hardware, PC Parts at Best Online Computer Shop - DirectCanada

How's this? PROTECT IT 7OUTLET SURGE W/ TEL 7FT-CORD 1270J 50KDOLLARS INS - DirectCanada

I'm assuming that there's more inputs in the back, right?

i have never had anything fry on me except my modems twice and i use a normal power bar, so its up to you if you even need one. In the long run it could save you money. With my new system i'll be getting one though.
