Geez, Nobody likes to see any appliance go up in smoke. I've had very few items go *puff* (knock on wood).

When I started collecting unused cpu's from people, I invested in a pair of apc 1400xl's just in case. I don't completly trust surge appliances (still use 'em, but plugged into the apc). We have 5-6 go south at werk every year.

I'll have to double check and make sure none of my cpu's are set to restart after power loss.
