Alternative for bitsltd smartstrip
mlcampbe:
Thanks for the reviews and help.
My decision was down to the ziotek device or the sears one and I think I'll give the ziotek a try.

Is it surge protected, though?

No it is not, I plug mine into a surge strip and it works fine.

Don't know... When thunderstorms are coming, I unplug my stuff. I think with those cheap surge protectors, the damage is done by the time the thing trips anyway. ;)

In this day, I'm more worried about brownouts and related power surges from the electric company. Also, this is a sort of power strip. I read somewhere that chaining power strips isn't a good idea.

Another interesting alternative - a power supply with outlets. I assume they are switched via the ATX power, but they may have constant power...??
