Totally worth it. Wouldn't dream of running expensive setups without one. A decent one should offer great protection and also have insurance, so if the surge cooks everything, then the protector manufacturer will pay out

I have some belkin ones with about 50 grand on them, with LAN ports and a few swivel plugs so you can fit in big fat adapters as well and turn them this way and that. Everything plugged into them, especially PC because it just adds another buffer to sensitive stuff inside

Can they be turned off? Cause when i switch it off at night by plug it switchs the kick switch off in the electrics

Yes they can. Some have a switch on the socket. Not sure about why yours is tripping the electrics. You may have a RCD type unit on the wall that can defect earth leakage current.

I remember when my grandad got a new pc, he asked me to set it up and I flipped a switch on the back that set it to 110volts and it dieded
