I agree. You probably only need your computer and entertainment
center on surge protectors. That means adding two new outlets.
Any electrician can add a few outlets for a couple hundred bucks, or
you can do it yourself for under $100

Effective surge protector can be installed in mains breaker box for
computer, entertainment center, AND also for things more critical: the
furnace, bathroom and kitchen GFCIs, smoke detectors .... and
everything else in the house. Protection that is vastly superior
because an earthing wire makes a 'less than 10 feet' connection.
Protector that costs about $1 per protected appliance.

Protection that would work adjacent to computer or entertainment
electronics already should be inside appliances. Internal appliance
protection needs one thing to not be overwhelmed - a properly
(connected 'less than 10 foot') earthed 'whole house' protector.
Superior protection also for computer and entertainment electronics
without rewiring the house.

Dedicated wire to computer and entertainment system would be for
other reasons including human safety.
