    ok so my brand new computer just got fried by lightening, well the PSU did, won't know about the rest till newegg ships my new PSU. soooooo after a very short thought process I have come to the conclusion that I need a surge protector lol. I am in europe at the moment so it needs to have the 2 prong european connectors, my problem is I am an American so I am use to shopping at newegg and tigerdirect, and neither of them carry what I need. whats a good site that carries european surge protectors and ships to the states? (its got to be shipped to America because the only mail I get is USPS, so it will be shipped to my house then shipped to me.) its also got to be able to handle a good amount of wattage because I have a 2000W transformer converting from 240V to 120V, then I also have my computer that will be using a 1100W PSU on 240V when the PSU arrives.

    Wouldn't it be a lot faster and easier to just buy it from a local store, instead of over the net, and having it shipped across the world twice?
