Alternative for bitsltd smartstrip

mlcampbe:

I've been looking for alternatives to buying a smartstrip due to costs. I had found a post on how to make one from standard electrical parts but that seems a little to risky.

In looking around I found the following items:

smartstrip from http://bitsltd.net

mini power minder from tigerdirect (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1109367&Sku=C184-34006&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&CMP=OTC-GOOGLEBASE)

auto switch from sears (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00924031000P?keyword=00924031000&sLevel=0)

smart surge strip from ziotek (http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/SearchDetail.asp?productID=13128)

The ziotek device seems to be a good price for what you get. At $14.95 it has master, 4 switched, and 1 unswitched plugs.

Has anyone used the ziotek product? Any reviews?

No feedback when I asked here, but I bit the bullet and bought a couple (at that price, I figure I can use another on the entertainment system to save some power) - I'll post some feedback once they arrive.

fwiw, I used a PC power supply that has a switched monitor outlet on it and that has worked great...

I'm currently using Mini Power Minders in two cabs and have never had any issues with them.  I'm surprised more people don't use them.
