My 3 1/2 month old NeXT 17" color monitor snapped and shut itself off
this evening twice.  I thought it might be related to the fact that the
washer and dryer were both running when it happened since it hasn't
done it since.  It has, however, begun making very quiet snapping sounds every 
few minutes.  I did press the degauss button about 10 seconds before it shut
itself off, but that was it.  It is connected to a noise suppressor/spike 
protector currently; I'm planning on investing in a UPS soon.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Should I send it in under warranty?
Any UPS recommendations <$350?

Thanks.
