Do you have a lot of lightning storms in Connecticut? I dunno if it's worth buying one of those premium surge protectors unless you live in a place that has a lot, or are running more than one pc worth several thou$and$. I think a simple $20 surge protector from best buy would cover it, but hey, you never know. My $20 surge protector has kept my pc's safe for several years.
