Monster MP PC800 RP Computer PowerCenter¿ with Surge Protection – Customer Reviews
WOW! Solid construction, almost overkill.
-
I mainly bought this for its reliability, # of outlets and (most of all) the CleanPower feature.Funky / dirty AC power is one of the leading causes of shortened life expectancy for electronics.Some things I noticed:
Yes, it is plastic, but it has that good, thick plastic feel, NOT the cheap thin stuff that seems like it would crack when dropped.
It can be hung in virtually any direction (horiz, diag, vert) from two screws/nails by two plus-sign (+) hole patterns on the back of the unit.
The cord is long and thick.The plug is a wall-hugging 90-degree angle type that can be used in either the top or bottom outlet receptacle.Huh?It is not only wall-hugging but it doesnt hang straight down from the receptacle - imagine you plugged this into a clock face: the plug would be angled toward the "4" or "5" on the face so that you aren't limited to plugging it in the bottom plug.You could actually have two of these plugged into the same outlet.Enough about that...
The plug connectors are REALLY tight fitting.You'll see what I mean when you go to plug in the computer or whatever.ALL Monster outlets are this way, and are intended to help keep the plug from falling out or being ripped out by accident.Another way Monster Cable thinks about the small things that bug us.
Mine came with a phone cable that was a couple feet (or so) in length.Cool, now I can plug the fax through the connectors on the unit.(Nothing to report there.)
The power switch lights up in red.
Comes with labels to help indentify BOTH ends of the power cabes you are plugging in.
The three "transformer" positions are great for those old box plugs for the cameras and such.Plenty of room built in.
I HIGHLY recommend this unit for your computer!7/19/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
Great Surge Plug
-
This is the 3rd surge plug that I have purchased.The first one met an untimely death do to a major water spill from a fish aquarium, but all the equipment attached to it survived.All in all, these plugs are the best.Each plug is labled and you get tags to label your cords (a nice feature if all your plugs are same color and style).the added area for power packs is a nice touch as those take up so much room.

The best Surge Protector I've Ever bought
-
It is worth the $$$$. I hooked up all my electronics to it. The plugs are held extremely tight, and they will not fall out. The picture on my Monitor is less shaky. Also, the cord on it is extremely long, and the plug is almost flat to the wall. It is also a great deal because it comes with labels for the wires, and locking cable ties. I have bought one for my PC, and TV.

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 fromimpulses and discharges caused from surge pulses (you need this!withoutthis, I've lost two modems from storms 30 minutes away!).It includes asince 8ft long power line which is heavily insolated.Other bonusesinclude the 1665 joule rating, the 24k gold contact grounded plug, littlestickers to mark your cables with and a Monster phone line cable.I alsolike its attractive look.Most are white and stand out.Since this modelis 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 arecovered my Monster's insurance!That's worth 50 bucks alone!
