Anything under $100 is not going to be strong enough to power your equipment for more than the length of time it takes to run in and shut it down...don't go for cheap price! And those 'power strip surge protectors'....don't believe them. You are not getting any 'protection' except 'maybe' from a large power surge but not from power 'blips'. What you are really paying for is the 'warranty'...yeah, if you have a computer get fried and you saved ALL the paperwork you can get paid for it. That's what you are getting with those units. Most people throw the packaging and reciepts away so no one ever claims anything and the manufacturer puts one over on you! Check your local Staples, probably OFfice depot has them...and get bigger than you think you will need. That way you have the protection and backup power.
