Is there anything I can check with a voltmeter or something?

bobzwik wrote:hey ME, what power bar do you have? i guess ill go with that option to prevent this from happening again.
i still havent been able to do this. when the lightning stroke, it blew the router also, and the network adapter in another of our computers. we have fixed that now. we will work on my PC tomorrow.
a question: when ill connect the other PSU to my mobo, do i have to connect it to everything else? or only to the 2x4 12V and 2x12 Main power connector?

UPSes are nice, but you have to change the batteries every few years which can get costly. This is the Power bar I have: http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=5016 I bought it at the source. Its a bit pricey, but its "cleans" your energy making your electronics last longer and it also has a 4220 joules surge protection.

now THAT'S a nice surge protector. Monster has some of the best quality components out there, I use their guitar audio cables and I love them. I might actually look into picking one of those up once I have my i5 and new mobo.
