And just this morning, I was reminded why I have a UPS.
One of those unexpected severe storms we tend to get during the summer here in Kansas rattled me out of bed 5 minutes before my alarm. Trying to get back to sleep for 5 more minutes (plus two extra hours, probably), when I hear a beep coming from the corner of the room. That was my UPS alerting me of a power surge that had the potential to damage my electronics had they not been protected.
As I said before, if you care about your expensive electronics, invest in a UPS. $100 or so for the extra equipment is a small price to pay for keeping your $1000+ computer from becoming a paperweight.
