Hi,
I spent a lot on surge protection because I run my PC as a server. Here is the image of my setup.

I bought most of the surge protectors from American Best Brands, 8th Flood IBM Building. And the best part is if the protector gets damaged by a surge and stops working they replace it. Three year replacement warranty
I ran the server (PC) in many lightning storms and nothing happened
.. well it did blow the trip switch, probably due to the live wire being grounded to suppress the surge
And who said you need to turn off your PC in lightning storms
If that was true.. people that run home based business that require 24X7 PC availability would be bankrupt.
Enjoy,
