Found one of these at the local walmart for 20 dollars.
Cant find it on Walmart's website, but here it is on amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SPP3225WA-Outlet-Energy-protector/dp/B0014Y1PQYI plugged my computer into the master socket, and the monitor into one of the secondary sockets.
When computer is turned on monitor comes on, when computer shuts down, monitor turns off.
I know you guys know me as a "build your own" type, but I just couldnt pass up the price on this one.
It has 4 switched outlets, and one unswitched. Not sure what i will use the unswitched one for.
I like this strip, but I think it could use more switched outlets. And the four are close to each other, which could be a big drawback if you need to plug a fat wall wart into one of them.
It is rated at 2160 joules, which aint bad, and it also has phone in/out jacks although I wont need them.
It also boasts a $200,000 connected equipment warranty on it. Hey if I build the arcade myself it should be worth that much!
It is very compact and should fit nicely in the arcade cabinet.
And for 20 bucks, it is a very good deal, I think.
