I have it setup to turn off and on every night.
Surge protects, like previously said, are good for like...MAYBE one little hit of bad weather. APC / UPS (they are the same thing) are designed, most of the time, with lightning strikes and really bad weather in mind.
We have them on all the computers at work, oh power went out...keep working for 10-20 mins getting everything saved that was open and then power down. Or if its just a small surge that briefly for a second kicks off power then you won't even lose power at all :)
I live in FL.... having a UPS is sooooo worth it. Doesn't even need to be crazy expensive. I have had this before and never a problem on my desktop with everything plugged in: UPS
Surge outlet for SMALL storm hits....would hopefully fry it before whatever is plugged into it : Outlet
Yes there is! and it's cheap too! Its a simple outlet timer. My grandparents used to use these so they would never come home to a dark house after work.
