[quote}I'm estimating 80Watts for that (if someone has a better guess, let me know).



Most new PC's have 300+ Watt power supplies. 500 is common. That's peak of course. I would budget 300 minimum for the PC. For one thing when you use an "all on" function on a universal remote you'll peak your power. Personally, I think a good surge protector is fine. You're not trying to protect data, just buying a relatively cheap piece of hardware whose job it is to commit suicide to save your expensive gear.
