Is it necesary to plug your computer to an energy regulator?
I´ve heard just about every response there is. Some people say it´s necesary, others say it´s not.
So, how many of you actually have an energy regulator?
My las computer lasted for six years without a regulator and had no issues what so ever. It simply had to go because it was outdated.
Thanks.

"Energy Regulator"?...
...!
In some countries with an unstable/unpredictable Mains Power Supply, you may require the use of an external "Voltage Regulator" to ensure a stable Voltage to your equipment.
The other device which is sometimes used, is a "Surge Protector", mainly to prevent damage from Lightning Strikes to the Power Lines, creating high Voltages in the Power Supply, and damaging your equipment.
In Great Britain, our Mains Supply Voltages and Frequencies are maintained within very strict, closely controlled limits.

hehe Yep, that`s the one... "Voltage Regulator"
We have a very stable power supply grid here in Mexico and the power seldom goes out. So, basicaly I don`t see the need for a voltage regulator now that you explained it.
Thanks.
