Slightly off topic;

I am looking for a supplier of good transient suppression equipment and a
overvoltage protection unit. My parents are living out in a rural part of
spain and are having problems with the mains killing electronic equipment.
Yes I do know of Farnell, but I was wondering if there was anywhere
cheaper?

Ebuyer.co.uk - there are a number of vendors that do 'connected
equipment warranties' - if the equipment on it dies due to a spike, they
replace it the damaged equipment.
