This is my first post, hopefully all goes right. DSE is offering an 8 way surge interceptor for $39. It used to sell at $59-$69 in July.

Description from the website is as below.

"Model #: Catalogue #: M78101
SURGE INTERCEPTOR 8-Way Surge Board

Provides surge protection for 8 mains outlets plus a phone line and TV coaxial cable socket. Includes coil/capacitor EMI filtering, 6 heavy-duty MOVs, varistor and gas discharge arrestors, protection status indicators, 10A circuit breaker plus 2,000 Joule and 60,000A maximum mains surge current rating. Includes 1.8 metre phone and F-type coax patch cables. Lifetime guarantee with $100,000 Connected Equipment Warranty."

Lifetime warranty at $39. Pretty good deal

  Dare I say COTD or Grocery Run have similar 8 way products quite often for $19.99. Managed to get one when the free shipping hour was on the other day.

  These are good value for money and well made, picked one up last time they went on sale. It is a shame that Dicksmith who is suppose to be an electronics expert does not realise that heavy-duty MOVs, varistor and gas discharge arrestors are the same thing. They make them sound ilke 3 separate devices PFFF

    a gas discharge arrestor is not a varistor. mov's will be used between the pins on the mains, the others on the phone + coax

  I've been using one of these for nearly 5 years.
  Found it in a dumpster behind a DSE.

      something like. actually that DSE dumpster was a gold mine. so much stuff that was "broken" e.g. boombox with batteries in backwards, LCD monitors with broken on switches, cordless phones with flat batteries, stereos with blown fuses, car dvd systems with broken (and replaceable) cables, etc. really basic stuff to fix that for anyone with half a brain would state to the customer that it was beyond repair or cheaper to buy a new one.

      found a box of 30 BNIB ipod cases. stuff like that. dumpster diving at its finest/ most lucrative.
