Tabletop Surge Suppression

Kensington SmartSockets, $40,

It's about time someone developed a surge suppressor to accommodate the oversize power plugs on so many PC devices. All six outlets on the tabletop model of Kensington's SmartSockets Advanced Multi-Stage Surge Protector accept such bulky plugs. A green/red indicator light lets you know if your devices are protected. The suppressor's conveniently color-coded outlets and matching adhesive tags make it easy to identify which plug goes with which device. Also nice: the audible alarm that sounds when a power surge damages the suppressor.
