Hi Everyone,<br><br>I've been using this Isobar 4 <br><br>http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=100 <br><br>for about 13 years and it has given me good service.<br><br>I've been looking at surge protectors and from what I see there is two classes.<br><br>1) uses a capacitor to collect the surges and when full does not protect against surges and becomes an extension cord.<br><br>2) actually runs the surge to ground.<br><br>I've had very good luck over the past 20 years in that I've only lost 2 video cards.&nbsp; And I've had a bunch of systems - maybe 9 or 10.&nbsp; (I always try to have a small network.) So I think I've been fortunate.&nbsp; I attribute most of that to the Isobar.<br><br>I am receiving a new dev box today and want to protect it.&nbsp; The monsoons will be upon us in 7 or 8 months and I want to be able to leave my dev box on 24/7 w/o worrying.<br><br>Insight and suggestion much appreciated,<br>Keith<br><br>&nbsp;<br><BR><BR>- - - - - - -
