Decent 8 port power board, with wide enough spacing, 1.8m lead. Yes it was $20 earlier at Good guys earlier, but for right now this seems good. Price match at office works for 5% off (they couldn't do by phone, but did in store for me).

No USB, but I never trust power board USB anyway.

700 J absorption, but I didn't buy it for its surge protection. no idea how good it really is but that seems to be a midrange amount.

Sockets at least hold the plugs securely initially, which is more than I can say for the cheap ones.

  700 joules is far from midrange in terms of energy absorption. It needs to be at least somewhere between 1600 and 2000 joules. The old Dicksmith 6 way Surge Catcher is rated at 1675 joules. I've still got two lying in the garage.

  I have a 4 socket Jackson and the sockets are so tight that the pins get bent when I insert/remove them.

  Get the cyberpower one instead. Far better surge protection and 2 x usb. They are $35 at a few places that are just a Google search away.

    yeah sounds like a good option, and I looked at them too, but there were a few reports of them having loose sockets so I went for the Jackson. but will probably try one to compare.
