As advertised.......2007-09-13
Unit did exactly what I wanted and freed up a big wire nest behind my equiptment.
Belkin Surge Protector.......2007-04-13
I haven't had a power surge since I installed this, so I don't have any comment on it's ability to protect equipment. As for line conditioning, I didn't expect to see or hear any difference in my equipment (I have a CRT television and watch over-the-air broadcasts), and I didn't.
I just have some comments on the box itself. It's a good looking, solidly built unit. It has the most robust looking power cord of any equipment that I've ever owned. The rear connections are well spaced and easy to use. There are some things that I'd like to point out to potential buyers, though:
1. The LCD display can be dimmed, but it can't be fully turned off. Fully dimmed in a dark room, it puts out about the same amount of light as one of those rectangular indigo night lights. I wish that I would have known that before I bought it.
2. The unit doesn't have an on/off button. To fully turn it off, it must be unplugged. Six of the eleven outlets are controlled by a power button on the front panel, but five of the outlets are not affected. For some reason, the high-current and analog outlets are switched, but none of the digital outlets are.
All in all, it's hard to get excited about a surge protector. This one seems like a good value. My only real complaint is that the front display can't be turned off.

The current that comes from most AC outlets is inherently imbalanced, causing high-frequency oscillations that get picked up by your gear in the form of performance-robbing hum, buzz and static. And while filtering radio frequency (RF) and electromagnetic (EM) interference can remove much of this extraneous noise from your system, only a power center with perfectly balanced power can fully remove interference for the best possible sound from your audio components. Monster s Pro 7000 Provides Balanced Power and Ultimate Power Conditioning for Best Possible Performance. The Pro 7000 employs cutting-edge technology to perform the difficult task of balancing the power used by your pro audio...

Space for BIG plugs.......2007-09-23
I love this because of the expanded space for big plugs. I don't know why they bother to make surge protectors without room for the large plugs computers have. To me it seems unsafe to plug multiple surge protectors into each other so you can get ALL of your computer stuff hooked up.
Best Surge protector.......2007-09-16
Wow 12 outlets. It's very spacious. Easily accommodates 6 big adapters. Has cable, Telephone options too. The only thing I disliked is that it comes with Black wire when most of the walls and floors at homes and offices are white due to which wire doesn't blend in with the walls but that is not a big issue. I have two children at home. They used to keep touching the adapters and wires connected to different outlets because my previous surge protector couldn't accommodate everything because of narrow space b/w the outlets on it as I have a lot of things connected to the TV. Now I can keep everything in one place hidden behind the TV.
It comes with a 10 feet wire that is another advantage. Office Depot sells exacts same product for $76 + Tax with it's own brand name on it. What a rip off.
Good surge protector.......2007-09-14
Arrived quickly. Sturdy build. Plenty of outlets. I like the flat plug so furnature can be placed close to the wall without a big plug sticking out.
Wish I used this sooner.......2007-08-14
I had a lightning strike near my house which wiped out my router, network switch, and motherboard-based network adapter. I had a UPS so assumed I was safe but it looks like I got a voltage spike on my cable tv line which then spread from the router to my ethernet cable. Now, my cable, ethernet, and power connectors are all protected should such a thing ever happen again! Plus, the wide spacing of the outside outlets on this Belkin surge protector allow me to connect all my network gear, two computers and monitors, and my entertainment center. I did considerable research before selecting this surge supressor and am very satisfied.
Great surge protector with one small issue.......2007-08-13
I'm currently using this surge protector for my computer room in my apartment, and it has enough outlets for two Xbox 360s, two monitors, two pairs of speakers, two PCs, a battery charger, printer, network switch, and I've still got an open outlet. Prior to this, I was using a 7 outlet surge protector, also from Belkin, and was constantly switching plugs. I need to play Xbox with a friend, well, I guess I don't need the printer right now. Wait, actually I do, let me switch to headphones for a bit and unplug my speakers. Dang, that was the network. Guess we'll have to start that level over.
The only problem I've seen with this surge protector is that unplugging devices has popped out the sliders that block the outlets. They pop back in fairly easily, but I'm sure I'm going to lose them before too long. I guess the good thing is that I don't need to plug and unplug nearly as often anymore.

Super-Master.......2007-08-31
Forget all those so-called surge protectors you get for less than $10.00. After buying this one, the others are just a waste of money.
I had a problem with my Tivo unit having a loss of signal on certain channels. Since I installed the Belkin SurgeMaster, the problem no longer exists. Plus, the picture on the televison is better.
Ive know purchased additional ones and have my computer on it. Very pleased. I don't want to use any other type.
Nice Surge Protector for the Price.......2005-12-15
I looked all around Amazon for a reasonably priced surge protector and ended up ordering two of these (~$18 each). It's self-evident from the pictures about the number and spacing of the plugs. I use it for my computer setup, which like a lot of computers, have a whole lot of plugs to accomadate (BTW plugs are easy to insert). There are indicator lights for "protected" and "grounded". Belkin also offers a $150k warranty with this model, though I'm curious how well it's honored. The true test of this surge protector is during a fault event, but of course, you don't wish for those to happen. I have lots of other sensitive electronic equipment connected to all different types of surge protectors, and generally have not had problems. I'm not sure if you are buying much better practical protection for average home electronics when you are spending $50-100 on a surgeprotector.
EDIT: Each of the plugs has an individual built in retractable cover that helps to keep the dust out when not in use. GREAT FEATURE!

Does the Job.......2007-06-11
With a surge protector, one never knows how well it works until it is tested. The decision which to get is based on factors of cost, value of equipment, and features of the protector. My decision for this Belkin Surge Protector (BE108230-12) was based on these factors. It probably is not the best unit on the market, but I would say it is in the upper class. The unit was small in physical size and large in features. It was easy to set up. Hopefully, it will never be tested, but if it is, the features appear to be sufficient to protect my equipment.

Great Camera.......2002-11-10
This Camera is pretty good for a first digital camera. If you are using a PC (you have to for the drivers to work!) and running windows ME or better you can even make movies with Windows Movie Maker (Go To START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIED>WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER), you can add music and voices! It also triples as a webcam! The software that comes with the camera is great. It includes Ulead Photo Express 4, Cool 360, and AVI Creator! The function (Ct) allows you to take 10 second video clips when not attached to a PC. This Camera is a great inexpensive, i know i love mine!
Not Very Good At All.......2002-08-11
I knew that the camera, with it's low price, wouldn't be the best I've ever used. Though, for the [money] I paid for it, I didn't expect much for a display...which is why I wasn't *too* disappointed by there not being *any* display but to tell you what mode the camera is in. The camera is fine, the functionality is decent, it's nothing near the higher-priced cameras I'm used to using, but it's ok. My only problem with it is that the CD they give with the drivers and programs on it for me was warped and refused to work. Another downfall...the company didn't have the drivers online...seems that they've gone into the scanner business and dropped all the digital camera stuff. Not a wise idea. Anything that is still in production and is being distributed should make sure, if drivers are necessary for use, that they have a location online where they are located. It's only the little things that are it's downfall. Overall, the camera is a decent start-out for children or beginners to get used to the basic concept of taking pictures and putting them on your computer/the internet. I give it a two out of 5 stars...
Very limited.......2002-05-15
There is no screen to immediately show you how your pictures came out. The LCD display on this unit only shows a count of how much memory is left. A display was one of the big advantages of the last digital camera I used, because I could overwrite shots that turned out badly. This unit also does not have the ability to overwrite the last shot.
It doesn't have a flash. If it thinks there is not enough light it will refuse to take the picture. If you remember how many shots were saved you can tell that it did not take the picture because the counter did not decrement. Or if you listen very carefuly, the beep it makes is slightly different depending whether it decided to take the picture or not. The slowest setting it will shoot at is 1/15 sec.
It also does not have non-volatile memory. What this means is that if you turn it off or change batteries, or if the batteries run out before you reach your computer, your pictures will be gone. Although it claims the batteries last two weeks, it does not have a bettery level indicator, so if you don't know or remember how much juice is left, and you value your pictures, you will always need to buy new batteries (3 AAA) before each trip.
I also did not think the upload software was very intuitive.
On the positive side, it has VGA & QVGA video modes, and does not use battery power when connected to the USB port, and the picture quality seems good for the price.
So it makes a reasonable PC-CAM for video conferencing, but does not come close to satisfying the needs of even an amateur photographer like me.
Amazing camera for its price........2002-03-21
Although this camera is lacking so many features of a higher end digital camera, i think it's a great starter. At around 70 dollars, the amount of space and clarity of the hr (high resolution: 600x800) pictures are great! This would be perfect for sharing on a website or an email. The programs on the software included are so easy to use, and downloading pictures with the small USB is quick and simple. Small and lightweight -- but with all the very basics, this camera is wonderful for its price.
Don't let the low price turn you away - this one's a keeper!.......2001-12-30
My young little daughter wanted a camera for Christmas this year and all I could think of was the high cost of film and film processing that I would have to come up with in the future. I remembered when my son was that age, of all the pictures he took, some good but mostly all bad! Luckily I came across this camera, it has so far saved me a bundle in film and developing costs. It's all ready paid for itself and she's only had the thing for three days! Yup, digital is the way to go. Quality you ask? Well, I was totally amazed at the quality of the pictures! It even comes with full versions of ULEAD software that lets you fix up pictures that you might have otherwise thrown out if it came from a regular film type camera. The only thing I wish it had is flash, but the neat thing about this camera is if the lighting condition was too low, it will tell you with a beep, and you will not be able to take the picture. We've found that you really don't need anymore than a turning on table lamp to take a picture indoors so not having a flash is not a big deal. What made me choose this camera over all the other lower priced digital cameras out there is the amount of memory it has for picture storage. This one's got a whopping 8 MB of SDRAM! That means 26 high resolution pictures or 99 low resolution pictures. And it's simple enough for a kid to use. I highly recommend this one, it's a keeper!
