Several Power Questions
Hello,
I am looking for some learned answers to some newbie basic computer power questions.
1. Is it true that no power strip will protect the computer from a direct lightning strike?
Having had a couple and lost a 17" Monitor to them, I am wondering.
2. Is it best to unplug computer from wall outlet to be completely sure.
3. How many of the members consider a UPS as necessary equipment and always use one?
4. Finally, will a UPS add any protection from lightning strikes? I believe it will help in small outages that we get.
Thanks for any opinions. Having just built this system I want to protect it.
