I smoked a PS a couple of months ago, and it didn't effect the other componets. I have a raid board w/2-HD's and a ATI 9700 pro VC which has a seperate power lead, and everything was allright.

Most, (not all) surge protectors will only take so many hits before they lose there ability to protect your system. I used to buy a new one every 8-12 months, but I changed to a whole house system offered by my local power company which they gurantee, and even offer replacement costs of certain items, somthing you might want to check into. It cost me an extra $7.00 dollars a month, which adds up to the price of a decent SP if you swap them out on a yearly basis.
