If you are getting frequent brown/blackouts, a whole house surge protector will help but won't be everything.

Maybe whole house surge suppression combined with a UPS on expensive stuff like home theater and computer?
 
I've got a 1500VA UPS for my office and a 500VA one in my basement for my router, modem, and NAS. | 
	
 
No, I guess it's 540 watts and it says it's 900VA on the case. Anyways I'm glad I got it, though it may be overkill for my computer. Right now the computer is running at about 50-60% load and it's only drawing 16% or 86 watts from the UPS.  It's a dual core e6750 with two video cards and two HDDs with a 22' monitor.
