   Heck, Kingston does this, too, with their power strip/surge supressors. I
think it goes up to $50,000, depending on the model! (Their site only
mentions it in passing, but I remember the little flyers in the baoxes
whenever I unpacked a new one.)
   Of course, if you're protecting fifty grand worth of stuff with a $50
power strip, you may not even notice a little electical shock, even to the
head...
