Do not buy one of those plug in the wall kind. Get a good UPS (Uninterupted Power Supply) that has the battery in it. Get one big enough for the wattage you will draw, and then a bit more. They have two sides, one surge and one battery. Plug in you computer etc on the battery side. Power will go thu the battery to your electronics which in addition to the surge protection, will also greatly reduce the spikes that are not big enough to trip but do cause problems over time or even during a write event to your computers hdd. One note, printers should not be plugged into a ups. For that, do use a plug in surge protector. I've replace several UPS's that got a serious hit, yet my electronics were fine. Cheap protection.
