In order for a surge protector to work for a PC it needs to be the 50-160 dollar type.

Wow, I am sorry to hear that. I also didn't know the cheap one doesn't protect against electronics. Any recommendation for a decent surge protector?

What you want is a decent UPS... no not the men in brown an uninterruptible power supply. Also sometimes called battery backup. Not only will it do a good job of protecting your pc from a voltage spike, but also from power failure or a brown out.
