My PC rebooted mid-raid and I lost the loot, so I plugged it into a $22 battery backup
Was running a late night raid with my guild last Friday in my apartment in Sacramento when my screen went black at the final boss. The whole rig restarted on its own and I came back to a dead character and no loot, 3 hours out the window. My neighbor, who builds PCs, came over and tested the outlet and found the voltage was dipping every time my fridge kicked on. I grabbed a $22 battery backup from the hardware store down the street and hooked the tower and monitor into it. Two weeks in and zero reboots, even with the microwave and fridge running at the same time. The console folks keep saying this is why they play on a box that just works, so how do you all handle power problems on your setup?
