This sits under my monitor and provides an up close and easy way to turn on my system. I can selectively turn off parts of the system such as printers and speakers while leaving the computer and monitor in the on state. It also provides additional electrical surge protection which is needed here in Florida with our ligtening storms. Highly recommended, and it is an excellent value.

These under the monitor type surge protectors are great and I am surprised that there aren't more of them. Why have a rat's nest of wires hanging in the back of your computer desk?? This organizes, neatens and allows you to turn off individual components without shutting down everything. In my case, I can shut off my monitor, computer, printer and speakers while allowing the cable modem and router to run for my wife and daughter to access the internet with their laptops. This model replaced an older Surgemaster that I had for 4 years and the reason for the change was due to more power demands by my system and peripherals. This one @ 1850 joules powers my 19" LCD, Athlon 4200+ X2 dual core, 512mb Radeon 1950 XT, Antec 580 Watt Power Supply, RAID array, 12 fans, modem, router, desk lamp, Lexmark all in one flatbed printer/scanner, Logitech cordless keyboard and rechargeable laser mouse, Logitech 5.1 surround speakers.........etc. More power to spare...ugh, ugh, ugh, MORE POWER!!!!!! Love it!!

Purchased the unit to turn off my computer system. Which consists of a computer, monitor, printer, camera, & audio sound amplifier.
Unit worked as planned for a short time then the main shutoff push on-off master switch stopped working. Previously I had a surge protector for 25 years with no problems then I purchased this one as an replacement. This one fits nicely under my viewing monitor but the master push button does not shut down my system as it was designed to do. I bought two units one still works and one doesn't.

Porduct as advertised, works as intended, protects the computer systems while also providing a convenient method to turn of either the entire system or selected components.

I got this to replace a very old (and dying) under-monitor power box. This one was really the only one that fit my needs. Black, built-in surge suppressor, etc. Works like a charm.

Only complaint is that the master switch controls both the entire unit, and it's own plug (would have liked a seperate button).

Good buy though! Looks good too.

I don't know why it's so hard to find surge suppressors like this anymore. It's great to be able to turn each device off and on individually while also being able to turn them all off at the same time. This is especially useful for me because my printer uses a lot of energy even when it is just sitting there. I use this to turn it on when I need it and then turn it back off.

I'd like something like this for my home theater as well, but I'm not sure I want something this ugly in my living room, and if I have to hide it I know I'll never use it.

I don't know how good the protection is but on the first one, the master switch got stuck in "on" position after 3 weeks. I exchanged for another one, and the same problem happened after 1 month. Amazon refunded my money.

This purchase was a replacement for another brand that finally died. It's easy to connect and integrates the power functions of many devices, allowing you to control these devices (power only) from this unit. We have experienced several power surges in our area and the unit has protected the devices attached to it. I would recommend the unit to anyone considering desktop-type surge protection or a power center. It also includes modem-fax protection with six (6) outlet power connections and is rated 1850 Joules.

THE TRIPP-LITE IS LIKE MY OLD ONE BUT MUCH THINER & SHORTER IN LENGHT.

GOOD BUY FOR THE MONEY

I own two of these. Tripp Lite TMC-6 is the only one I know which offers these features. I would recommend it to all desktop owners.
