Monster's Clean Power™ Stage 1 Circuitry filters out power pollution for maximum computer and peripheral performance. Designed by world renown AC power expert Richard Marsh, Monster's Clean Power™ Stage 1 Circuitry uses optimized filters to dramatically reduce electronic noise on your AC power line. The radio frequency and electromagnetic interference on the AC power line that once threatened to corrupt files, cause data loss, and system crashes is really rejected so your computer and peripherals can do what they do best...perform. PC800 HP also features Monster's exclusive SurgeGuard™ circuitry, which provides multiple layers of defense against harmful surges. Strategically placed multiple Metal Oxide Varasitors (MOV's) respond within one nanosecond (a billionth of a second) to power surges and voltage spikes before they can reach and hurt sensitive electronic circuitry, for the highest possible surge protection. Monster PowerCenters maximize user convenience. Monster's FlatProfile™ plug lets you push your furniture flush against the wall. And, with color-coded outlets and cord marks, you can avoid unplugging your computer by mistake, causing potentially catastrophic data loss. A generous eight-foot Monster power cord provides optimum length to reach most electrical outlets and delivers maximum high current power transfer. Maximize your system's protection. Now you can get protection from harmful surges, voltage spikes and inconvenience! Monster's PowerCenters offer high performance solutions to today's technology challenges..

I mainly bought this for its reliability, # of outlets and (most of all) the CleanPower feature. Funky / dirty AC power is one of the leading causes of shortened life expectancy for electronics. Some things I noticed:
Yes, it is plastic, but it has that excellent, thick plastic feel, NOT the cheap thin stuff that seems like it would crack when dropped.
It can be hung in virtually any direction (horiz, diag, vert) from two screws/nails by two plus-sign (+) hole patterns on the back of the unit.
The cord is long and thick. The plug is a wall-hugging 90-degree angle type that can be used in either the top or bottom outlet receptacle. Huh? It is not only wall-hugging but it doesnt hang straight down from the receptacle - imagine you plugged this into a clock face: the plug would be angled toward the "4" or "5" on the face so that you aren't limited to plugging it in the bottom plug. You could really have two of these plugged into the same outlet. Enough about that...
The plug connectors are REALLY tight fitting. You'll see what I mean when you go to plug in the computer or whatever. ALL Monster outlets are this way, and are intended to help keep the plug from falling out or being ripped out by accident. Another way Monster Cable thinks about the small things that bug us.
Mine came with a phone cable that was a couple feet (or so) in length. Cool, now I can plug the fax through the connectors on the unit. (Nothing to report there.)
The power switch lights up in red.
Comes with marks to help indentify BOTH ends of the power cabes you are plugging in.
The three "transformer" positions are fantastic for those ancient box plugs for the cameras and such. Plenty of room built in.
I HIGHLY recommend this unit for your computer! |
Expensive power strip, but you get what you pay for!

| I was pleased to be able to pick this up on Amazon for half the price that Monster charges if you buy it from them directly! It's solved the problems I was having with my laptop freezing nearly every time I plugged it back into the wall. My cheap Belkin power strip wasn't preventing the power spikes that this area is known for. It looks like something straight out of the 1980s, but it works! |
Stopped a lighting strike through the phone line.

| I bought one of these to protect my mom's computer. Her house got struck by lighting and it went through the phone line and this stopped any hurt from happening to her computer. The power strip was toast, so I bought her another one just like it. |

Massive Surge

| Review Date: February 2, 2008 |

I had a Monster MP PC700 protecting my PC, monitor, printer and DSL modem. On the 30th of January 2008 suffered a massive surge, three surges in 2 seconds. The above surge protector saved my equipment! Also, it did not catch fire or explode. My Power Sentry 322 and every other protector in my house did pop loudly and/or shoot fire!
I kissed the the Monster when I was able to restart my PC! Now buying this 800 and several other Monster Cable products.
I'm sold for LIFE! |
