    Wanting advice on a surge protector

    Wanting a list of some good surge protectors from best buy, circuit city, radio shack, sears etc.
    I don't care in particular what brand it is, if all i can get is advice I'll take that too.
    Budget range is 0-100.. maybe 0-150 if the argument is good enough.

    Best Advice You'll Ever Get

    First off buy your surge protector online as you should be able to get a good one new and sealed for at least $30 less then they sell at places like Best Buy etc. The easiest thing to do is use google and put the model number of the surge protector you're interested in and you usually can get both in the listings & right hand side ads, a list of places you can buy them for online and their prices. Specifically, i originally bought a Monster Surge Protector HTS800 from a huge Los Angeles electronics place called Fry's which has a great 30 day return noquestions asked policy for $79. After I bought it, I found the same model for $46 online new and sealed and bought that and exchanged my old one.

    I think this has 1850 Joules and I have my HD TV, receiver & sub plugged into it.

    I like this one but there's no Joule rating on it:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....1&type=product
    this one here, though the price concerns me:

    As I said, if you want to use sites for the same franchise places you'll get a lousy deal on accessories such as surge protectors. Your going about this the wrong way if money is a concern.

    This is probably the best

    Consumerreports magazine did an evaluation of surge protectors while back, and Isobar top the chart in terms of protection. Compusa also carry Isobar SPs if you have one locally.
