The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
The one I am using now for my TV, Wii, PS2, Media PC, router, and modem stinks, it was the cheapest thing I could buy at Wal Mart 6 years ago, has no surge protection of any kind on it, and is flimsy as hell.
I can't use an outlet based surge protector because my tube TV is too huge to allow the plug to stick out any more than what it already is.
What is a good brand surge protector strip to buy to replace the one I have now so I can plug in all my stuff?
I have that exact one and like it. My only complaint is that the center row is a centimeter or two too close to the box plugs. When I want to unplug a plug from the center, I may have to unplug two boxes to get it out.

Its got a 90 degree plug so it keeps flush to the wall.
No more having 1 plug block others
Got one of those in the bedroom. It's also awesome. It lives in one of these, though, so it doesn't look so ugly:
