[Elecraft] suggested PC???

[Neil Zampella]

FWIW ... I've got everything setup wired in the shack, but everything 
(cable coax, ethernet, power) runs through an uninterruptible power 
supply (ups).   Many of the higher end models provide not only power 
surge protection and battery, but lightning/surge protection for coax 
and ethernet.
