What type of surge protector to use for arcade games?
ChadTower:
Fridge, air conditioner, water heater, washer/dryer... they all cause these things.
2PacMan:
So.....can someone tell me what kind of surge protector i should buy at the store for my arcade games, should i even bother?
I think we got off on a slight tangent here :)
ChadTower:
We didn't get off on a tangent. We told you to buy a UPS. Go do it.
2PacMan:
No...you told me to buy a UPS. No one else suggested that. I think that's a little overkill, as do the other people here. I'm not paying 70.00 for a surge protector. I need two anyway. Of course if i had all the money in the world, i'd be buying one of those, i have no doubt it is the 'best solution' but i need the most 'practical solution', which is why i'm opting for a normal surge protector.
I just need to know what kind of joule/amp/voltage protection i need for a standard arcade game.
ChadTower:
First of all, they can be had for $25 or less. Second, those $10 surge protectors won't protect you against a thing.
Third, I don't care anymore, pour water on the machines. This is what I get for trying to assist.
