From the Manufacturer
Maximize your system's protection. Now you can get protection from harmful surges, voltage spikes and inconvenience! Monster's PowerCenters offer high performance solutions for today's technology challenges. Harmful power surges and voltage spikes can travel up AC power and coax connections and damage your components. Lightning, automatic garage doors, power tools, refrigerators and fluorescent lights all cause power surges and voltage spikes that can travel up AC power lines and coax cables to damage your computer system. Even a momentary power surge can destroy valuable data stored on your hard drive. Worse yet, costly damage can occur to the sensitive electronic circuitry of your motherboard. Ordinary surge protectors, or the so-called "value brands", often fail to provide the adequate level of safeguards you need to protect your valuable data and equipment. A properly designed surge protector can help protect your sensitive computer components. Proper connection to an advanced surge protector with integrated system protection, via Internet/Phone line protection as well, the PC800 can help minimize the risk of surge damage to your system. PC800 gives you the level of protection your system needs. Unlike standard surge protectors, the Computer PowerCenter PC800 with SurgeGuard protection provides multiple layers of defense against harmful surges. Strategically placed multiple Metal Oxide Varasitors (MOV's) respond within one nanosecond (a billionth of a second) to power surges and voltage spikes before they can reach and damage electronic circuitry. Monster PowerCenters make life easier. Monster's FlatProfile plug lets you push your furniture flush against the wall. And, with eight color-coded outlets and cord labels, you can avoid unplugging your computer by mistake - possibly causing valuable data loss or damage to your hard drive. Finally, a generous eight-foot Monster power cord, which is the optimum length to reach most electrical outlets, is included.

Monster does it again! A+
I just bought a new computer and I new if I ever needed a new surge protector, monster would have what I need. This baby has it all. Clearly marked, 3 prong, plugs for the computer, monitor, printer, scanner, modem, speakers and two extras... It also includes phone line protection from impulses and discharges caused from surge pulses (you need this! without this, I've lost two modems from storms 30 minutes away!). It includes a since 8ft long power line which is heavily insolated. Other bonuses include the 1665 joule rating, the 24k gold contact grounded plug, little stickers to mark your cables with and a Monster phone line cable. I also like its attractive look. Most are white and stand out. Since this model is black, it appears a little secluded on my desk. But that's not all. You're backed with a grantee this baby will not fail. If it does, you are covered my Monster's insurance! That's worth 50 bucks alone!

quit working after 3 months
I bought this product with the monster label. Well, it lasted abot 3 months and then just quit working. I threw it away forgetting I bought it from amazon. Buy less expensive with higher joules.

Proven To Be Worth Every Cent!
I own alot of electronics and computer equipment and have always used Monster Power surge protectors - just in case.

But the true test came into practice last December. The weather was extremely windy on that particular day and while my Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table, we suddenly heard a loud pop followed by a sizzling noise. And then the lights went off in part of my house and dimmed in the rest. The wind had gusted so strongly that it pulled a power line loose from my house - thus we had a power surge.

Well of course you know we immediately called our power company but here's the point I want to make. I went into every room to do a check and as I entered my home office, I smelled what was a uniquely burnt electronics smell (If you've ever experienced this you know what I'm talking about). And then I found the source: my MP surge protecter. IT WAS FRIED TO A CRISP!! However, my laptop, wireless router, printer, and a couple of other things I had plugged into it were just fine. It seems the brunt of the power surge hit this particular room. It also took out the furnace, dishwasher and a few plug-in's in the garage, which insurance took care of.

Monster Power saved me a few thousand dollars worth of computer equipment and all for less than thirty bucks!

So the moral of my story is this: if you value your computer and audio/video equipment, please invest in a surge protector. And of course I recommend a Monster Power strip. I had my tv, dvd player, satellite reciever, stereo equipment, and iPod plugged into another Monster Power surge protecter for A/V equipment. It was all perfectly fine.

Needless to say, as soon as my power was restored, I got online and ordered another MP surge protector from Amazon to replace the one that had just been fried. Thank you Monster Power! Your product lives up to the hype!
