GRRR Squad Forum

Okay, now that this thread has been thoroughly derailed, please can I ask again that people who have not yet registered on the eGSA website, please do so.

As for the Squad Rush comp, it seems that we have no-one that's interested. Roll on BF3...

Difference being, that an UPS is expensive

Dirk and I have a UPS... as far as I know it has surge protection built in it.

Surge Arresters/protector would be a much better solution than an UPS....

You will have 1 extra item to replace.....

Registered

I think I have registered but I haven't received confirmation email

no, get a clearline multiplug as that is the only thing worthwhile, but remember to get one with a RJ11 jack also as the telephone line is where most of the damage comes from ....

I am really keen but after last night the lightning sorta made sparks and I still have to assess the damage .....

The important thing is registering for eGSA, so that we're ready for BF3 comps.

Sorry to hear about the lightning strike mate, hope that the damage is minimal. I guess that now I have a PC up here on the highveld, I'd better get myself a UPS.
