I'd just point out that now might be a good time to add a whole-house surge arrester and/or get a bunch of new surge arresting power strips for your hardware. They have a useful life measured in joules dissipated so replace them if they're old too or your cheap RAM (among other things) may let out the magic smoke one day.
