So, in short, every component that connects to the PC and requires power from the wall should be plugged into the same surge protector? I'm assuming this applies to DSL/cable modems too, right? I have had people say they have a surge protector plugged into a 2nd surge protector and that is then plugged in to the wall. I have heard that this is "better" or "safer" and I've heard it's worse, and I've heard it makes no difference. Is there any good or bad reasons to plug one surge protector in to another - if, for example, one surge protector's outlets are filled, is it good/bad/indifferent to plug in a second surge protector into the 1st, or should the 2nd simply plug in to a different wall outlet?
(BTW- GREAT thread!!! I've always wondered about this stuff but never thought to ask someone that KNOWS what they're talking about!)
