So I bought a surge protector at best buy, brought it home, tried plugging my monitor and computer into it and it didn't fit. The monitor and computer pluggins have the two thin prongs and a third, round metal base that doesn't fit into those half oval base slots of my surge protector. I'm not sure if I'm using good enough terminology to get my point across so I'll post a picture too.
The half circle/half oval type slot below the twin thin slots is what I'm talking about. My computer and monitor have a full circle one that won't fit into these.

My main concern for this is because I recently had a power outage that ruined my last hard drive. I just bought a new one and don't want it to happen again. Can anyone help me find a place to buy surge protectors with a round bottom slot? I can't find one anywhere.
If not, is there a type of device that will allow me to plugin multiple things to a single outlet, including these three prong round base computer and monitor plugins?
