You might want to look into an uninterruptible power supply. I bought one a few
years ago when I found a bargain price on it. And my CPU, monitor, etc are
plugged in to the Panamax surge protector that is plugged into the APC
uninterruptible power supply. It's saved me some major hassles from time to
time. 

The other day I was sitting at the confuser working away and listening to the
rain patter on the roof and the wind howl through the trees when the lights
flickered, flickered again, went out, came back on briefly, went out again,
came back slowly then flickered and settled down. I didn't even have to
re-boot. But, I did have to reset the clock in the microwave, coffee pot, clock
radio, etc. Fortunately the ice box wasn't running the compressor at the time
so it didn't try to restart against a high head pressure.

I dunno what you paid for the power supply and installation - but, I gave,
IIRC, about U$90 at Office Depot from their close-out/bargain/open box returns
table. Under U$100 w/tax.

The model I got apparently is not made any longer (hence being on the close
outs) but this one is quite similar to it: http://3btech.net/po15unposuba.html
(I don't think their "FREE SHIPPING" brag applies to Yellowknife, though)
