Guys,
I have a surge protector that sits under my monitor. It is a Kensington. Works well. However I want to put my monitor on an arm to clear off the desktop. When I do, this surge suppressor has to go. There is nowhere to put this thing unless I can come up with some kind of stand to set it on end.
The problem is that I use the power buttons on the one I have frequently. It has a Master power button which is basically the computer. Then it has button for Monitor, printer and two aux's which I have my speakers and DSL modem on. There are also some unprotected plugs on it which are quite handy. It also protects the phone lines.
What I would like to have is a new surge supressor that is upright like one of the APC units. I don't really need a battery backup but if I could find one that is also a surge suppressor with all of the individual power buttons for my different components I might pop for it.
But reguardless, I would prefer at least a surge supressor that stands upright and not flat so I can conserve space and have the power buttons within reach. I do not want a power strip kind of thing. Do not like those for my comp stuff. They are un-weildy. I am looking for a bit of neatness here..
I have been hunting around and shopping and can not find anything that fits the bill. The small upright units I have seen are all uninteruptable power units and don't have buttons for components. At a loss here.
Is there anything out there anyone knows of? Any advice would be helpful. Hey, if there is an Uninteruptable Power Supply out there that will do everything I want I would go for one of those.
And I hope I have posted this in the right thread. Was not sure where so here it is. If it should go elsewhere let me know and I will move it.
