Random Failures

A client of mine who runs a financial services company was experiencing random failures across his network.

In a very short space of time, he had fried two flat screen monitors and 3 power supplies. In spite of his insistence that the power into his offices were ok, the only thing that could explain the damage was power surges.

A quick trip down the local electrical shop and clearing out their stock of surge protected extension leads provided a reliable fix for the client, not to mention low cost.

Computers are sensitive devices and even a slight surge can cause inexplicable damage.
