Great, thanks! I figured since they have redundant power, and implementations to prevent blackouts/brownouts.

if it is really expensive gear id still use one but its just extra protection. if they have redundant power then its not really needed

If you have a Co-Location where you have to even think about surge protectors, you should probably rethink whether or not you want to host your rigs there.

I was waiting for someone to post this. Thanks for being the one to post it.

Thanks for everyone else for the help. I am moving in there Tuesday. The rig is a beast. I would post a pic but there's gonna be that one condescending person that posts:

"What?! You bought that and you don't even know to use surge protectors or not? What a n00b, I'm better than everyone."

Anyways, I will post the rig in the hardware section to share. Thanks guys!
