I have just got a 4 way Surge Protector and i am unsure as to what i should plug in it....tv,ps3,640gb hdd,250gb hdd,laptop
Which would you recommend i am best putting in the protector
Thanks guys
 
Well i am considering taking it back to get one with more plugs....i got a 4 plug surge protector/4 plug extension lead for £5 or i can get a 10 plug surge protector for £15....It worth me spending more on one?
Well im thinking both hdds,tv and ps3,Will the surge blow my laptop if its not plugged in the surge protector? or will it simply just jump to battery?
I have also just purchased a 19'' lcd...do these need a surge protector?

Right....so im a bit confused as to what everyone is talking about lol.....I took that surge protector back today and grabbed a phillips one and it was all fine until i unplugged my phone charger and everything cut out,so i turned off at the wall and then back on again and then only one thing would work?? Any ideas what happened? So it looks like im back to square one, I have plugged everything in individually and they work fine so i dunno what happened to the surge protector.
I guess im going to have to get another today =(
 
The belkin ones are pretty expensive :(.....but could i get one of the surge cubes? (1 plug) then plug a extension lead into it?
What do you mean by protecting my phone line?
I dont think that will be possible as the wireless box is in another room?
I just found this one:
Technical Specification

Specifications:
Voltage: 240Vac
Current: 13A
Max surge: 2,500A
430Vac: 1mA
Any good?

Thanks tim...yeh i was wondering why i was been recommended £500+ surge thingys.....
Well i was actually looking at that one at a competitor and it was £30+ so i dismissed it but seeing that price i think i will go for it....i will contact OCUK tomorrow and see when there next stock comes in.
Thanks mate

I think im going to go for the 623....i did do some i sent you a link with one i found so you didnt have to...did you get it?
I can get the 623 for 12.99 which seems good so thats looking like the one im going to get
 
Wow i am confused :p
What on earth are you talking about?
Nothing isnt working? and nothings damaged?
I was just asking for some recommendations for a cheap surge protector for my tv,ps3,netbook and external hdd
not a expensive industrial thing
Thanks anyways i think?
 
Oh...Is the Keison even a surge protector it just looks like a block? lol
I cant show you numbers as i dont know what i need to show you.
Looking at the prices of the Keisoni dont think everything im plugging in it adds up to that
 
Right...i still dont have a clue what your talking about....is it really necessary for me to have a keison just to protect a netbook,ps3 and a tv?
 
Westom can you try and keep this on topic please.
So seeing as Belkin are turning out to be not very good..does anyone have any recommendations for a relatively cheap surge protector i can use for my ps3,tv,netbook
 
Well a Keison is very expensive plus im in a rented place at the moment so i wouldnt be able to install it or whatever you have to do with it.
 
i have never had a power surge...i was just going to get one for my ps3 etc just for a little protection.
All the appliances here are my own so he wont be bothered....anyways surely if something happened i just claim on the house insurance?
