no, you buy one for the whole place and put it on tha main panel. i only have a small one here for my PC and a light, but it has paid for itself many times over already in not having random power outages take me down and mess things up. normally when a storm comes through i turn off the PC anyways because i really don't want to have things fried (even if i do have the UPS and surge protection). i can do something else for a while. if i were running large expensive equipment i'd surely have some UPS and surge protection for those. if only just enough to get them to shut down without destroying the work in progress (or themselves). songbird
