Pain
! Quite simply having your computer connected through a
Surge Protector can save you from Heartache, Headache, Hair
Loss and from kicking yourself, these are only some of the
symptoms and emotions suffered by computer owners without
a Surge Protector when electrical misfortune strikes.
Robin Computers of Beverley are currently selling the Belkin
6 way surge protector at only £22.50
This filters out
voltage spikes and pulses - not only from your telephone
/ modem line but also from your mains electricity. Without
a clean power source your computer is susceptible to damage
from Spikes (very sharp short lived increase in voltage
sometimes upto 1000 volt above the normal 230 volt supply
- often caused by lightning strikes near to power lines)
or damage from Surges ( a longer lasting rise in voltage
usually caused by electrical equipment with motors in your
locality, eg. fridge / freezer, central heating pump or
even the humble vacuum cleaner in your home or even a neighbours).
The resulting effects from these events can range from nothing,
a simple computer crash or freezing, corrupted files / lost
data ( if the event happens when hard disc is writing.)
to actual physical damage to the electronics in your computer
(especially if you have an internal modem and the spike
occurs on the telephone line).
Look upon the purchase of a Surge Protector from our Beverley
Computer Shop as a very cheap insurance policy - you really
will regret not having bought one when you have to replace
a part of your computer or suffer data / file loss due to
a spike or surge.
