Spent a lot of $ on my build. Has not been put together yet. But in the coming weeks I will get it done.



I didn't have a budget in mind when I started. But if I did I WAY exceeded it.



What's the best way to protect my computers ( 2 ), and all my monitors & TV?



Surge protectors work by stopping X electricity from reaching your device? Preventing failure? Is a surge protector all I need / want?



Assuming I need 8-10 outlets. And I have 2 separate wall outlets to work with 6' apart from each other. What's the best way to do this? 1 massive 8-10 outlet surge protector? The amount of protection from a surge protector is measured in joules right? The more joules the better? What would be a good amount of joules?



And does anyone have any brand/model recommendations?



Thank you
 
They generally clamp to a certain inbound voltage and trip once that voltage is out of spec by a certain degree.

Do you have any desire for a UPS or similar?

What is a UPS? Is that some type of battery backup?
How does it work? And does it work in conjunction with a surge protector?
