      As somebody who has no idea how to shop for a surge protector, I asked GPT4 for some advice on what to look for.

      "When shopping for a surge protector for a high-end PC, you should consider the following factors:

      1. Joule Rating: This indicates the energy capacity of the surge protector. Higher joule ratings offer better protection. Look for a rating of at least 1000 joules for high-end PCs.

      2. Clamping Voltage: This is the voltage at which the surge protector will kick in to block or redirect excess energy. Lower clamping voltage indicates better protection, typically around 400 volts or less.

      3. Response Time: Surge protectors don't react instantly; a faster response time means quicker protection. Look for response times in nanoseconds.

      4. Number of Outlets: Ensure there are enough outlets for all your devices. Also, consider the spacing of the outlets for larger plugs.

      5. UL Rating: Check for a UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listing, which means the product has been tested for safety.

      6. Types of Protection: Look for protectors that guard against surges on power, telephone, and coaxial cable lines if these are relevant for your setup.

      7. Warranty: Some surge protectors come with a warranty or insurance for connected equipment. This can be a sign of the manufacturer's confidence in the product.

      8. EMI/RFI Noise Filtration: This feature reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can improve the performance of your equipment.

      9. Indicator Lights: Indicators that show the protection status and grounding are useful for monitoring the health of the surge protector.

      10. Build Quality and Safety Features: Durable construction and safety features like an internal circuit breaker or automatic shutdown technology add extra layers of protection.

      Remember, a surge protector is different from a power strip, which may not offer surge protection. For high-end PCs, investing in a quality surge protector can save a lot of trouble and expense in the long run."

      What is a good surge protection for computers and stuff?

        A powerboard better than this. Something that had higher than 175 Joule protection.

        1000 Joule protect is considered a reasonable figure.

        I’ve been seeing the Belkin Surge Suppressors in a few lists, I’m definitely not impressed by some of the current model Arlec, Jackson and HPM which was a respected brand are putting out such sub par quality lately.

        This tests of these comments are just my humble opinion. An electrician can check your power but you want to see it over a period of time. If you are getting 239-241V at 50Hz for seven days you have pretty good power - more than 10V variations +- or significant changes in your cycles per second (Hertz) would indicate your power isn’t great then I’d be looking for an Online UPS.

        Number 1 Brand is APC based on my own experience

        Eaton is not bad but APC is the best I’ve used in a 30+ year career in IT and Telecommunications.

        Consider your power supply - does you area get a lot of brown outs, unless you have an incandescent bulb you won’t notice them, but if your power is inconsistent in terms of voltage drops or voltage spikes, I would suggest an Online UPS - this takes AC converts to DC and then back to a pure AC sine wave. Depending on how much you spend on your computer rig, an Online UPS while much more expensive will do a much better job at protecting your PC.

        You can get an electrician to check your general wiring and voltage needs to be checked over time 24 hours minimum - 7 days would be better. Alas you aren’t going to find out the quality of your power without buying some equipment. There are some cheapish power monitors which you can buy but you need something that will log to Bluetooth - there are power meters that I’ve seen on Aliexpress that look like they could do the job, goes without saying to make sure you get get one with an AU plug - using an adapter doesn’t change your voltage but one extra thing in the chain that could spoil your results.

        A surge protector may only kick in above 260V though you need to read the specs on each surge protection power board.

        A lot of companies have “surge protection” but most are a joke.

        HPM a once respectable company selling these no switch surge protectors with 175 joule protection, a major spike might jump the Metal Oxide Varistors that protect your gear.

        I haven’t been that impressed with current offerings from Arlec or Jackson either.

        I’ve got some Cyberpower brand which other spec sheets look OK, but if you live close to a transformer and that goes it’s hard to know what sort of protection will save your equipment

        If you live in an area with high lightning strikes if one hits the ground and or power close by it’s likely to take out everything in at least a 1KM radius, possibly larger - do you own research on lightning strikes and power line dissipations.

        Surge protection these days is a joke compared to what it once was, but first find out how stable your power is to decide whether it’s worth investing in something more expensive.

        I thought those Cyberpower 8 way powerboards looked ok, but others have disagreed.

        Everyone will have some differing opinions on this but no one can deny that a lot of cheaper power boards with low joule surge suppression are not worth the money you pay for them and they certain won’t do much to protect you gear.

      Probably better than no surge protection, but wouldn't expect many years of protection if it can only absorb 175 joules before packing up.

  • hollykryten on 22/12/2023 - 19:51

    Yeah right surge protection at this price level. I wouldn't trust that to protect my devices. It's crap.

  • Craze on 22/12/2023 - 19:52

    OOS!

  • GRP on 22/12/2023 - 19:52

    how many they had on sale ?, :) gone in under 20 min :)

  • ozzyoi on 22/12/2023 - 20:41

    Jus got 1.

    • Mandalorians on 23/12/2023 - 09:57

      This is standrad version without surge protection.
      After reading the comments, look like 175j is meaningless, I'm getting below. Wall>surge protector>hpm power board.
      Because this size is perfect for puting in under desk cable management, and other brand doesn't do good joules for narrow power board as well.
      Alternative option for stand desk is ups and good rating narrow pdu which cost more than $150
