Absolutely. My Dad had a Windows box that kept "eating" dialup modems (this was a few years back, but still) even though he had everything on a power strip. He finally took it in to have it looked at, and the guy suggested he purchase a more expensive power strip than the $5 one he had. After he did that modems stopped frying.
