An antisurge socket should be fine but put a small ups on your PC as
they clean up noisy mains, dropouts, power surges, etc really well.

Trust do one at a very reasonable price - i've got my server hanging off
an energy protector 650 - which also comes with a telephone line filter,
not that i use it as i have cable. This will keep your PC running whilst
you start your generator up.

Good idea Les. A sudden power off won't do the PC or anything else (adsl
router / Weather Monitor etc) much good.

Can you just clarify something from your sentence, are you saying the
'energy protector 650' is one item (UPS) and the 'Trust' anti-surge
socket is another? I'm having trouble locating one of the latter. So you
plug the anti-surge socket lead into the UPS, and subsequently all you
equipment.

Thanks
