The second one was for my wife's PC which I had to rebuild after the hard drive failed

I use it for my desktop, 21 inch monitor and external hard drive.

I had the hard drive replaced

Got a Dell server and one external hard drive on it.

A year ago a momentary outage caused hard drive problems (had to reinstall numerous drivers and software) that led to a total failure some months later

and now this is the second office computer with a fried hard drive

He said that the lightning from the storms does damage but all our computers had fried hard drives and he said its from the power company redirecting the power during the day while they are working on the lines and that creates "dirty" power that stresses out the sensitive equipment like computers, printers, stereo, TV, cable box and digital displays.

One in early June crashed my hard drive

Bought this because the electric company turned off the power to the wrong house and in doing so, they destroyed my hard-drive

I've only got a tv monitor, cpu, and hard drive plugged into it

Had to buy a new new hard drive, reinstall OS, etc

Since the time I got an APC Back-UPS with Ethernet protection, I have had only 3 cases of hardware failure that did not involve moving parts (traditional hard drives and fans)I have Battery backups for all my computers, my TV and ReplayTV and later my TiVo, my network stack, (cable modem, router, and two switches)10 years seems to be the lifetime of most tech in my
