My surge protector just blew up. Huge bang and then the pc went off.
When I pulled all the plugs out of it one of the pins on the plug had turned the socked black and melted it.

It even makes the tea.
I think it was a heater I had plugged into the protector which had the problem.

For a £20 SP. I doubt I'd even bother. As far as I'm concerned it protected my PC so in hindsight I'm happy.

you should get one that has a coverage amount on it. Theres some around here that cover up to like...100K worth of equipment if not more.

I think mine does. But no damage apart from the sp its self. So I';m not too concerned.
