If you don't have a UPS get one!  Even if you don't setup any of the
automatic shutdown stuff it will save you in the long run.  

I have five UPS's for the computers and associated equipment and
recently installed a sixth one for the TV, DVD, and VCR to protect them
during the brief power outages that happen here all the time (last one
was this morning).
