Even cooler - get a UPS!
Some have battery backup for 2hrs should your power go out and they have noise and surge filtering!
Some Belkin UPS are less than $100 USD!
With power what I can't work out is how a standard A1200 brick runs on 1 amp and still manages to power a mouse, joystick, hard disk, ram expansion and all the video/audio ports....
