That's correct, Ken. The UPS acts as a surge protector so it provides protection as well as battery backup. I contacted Belkin and they advised against plugging one unit into the other.

I have only the equipment I feel needs battery backup for proper shutdown plugged into the UPS. The power center has a few features the UPS doesn't (for example, switched and delayed outlets), so I find them both useful.

OK. That makes sense. I believe I’m going to order one too. With our power outages around here, it can’t hurt. I’ll plug the satellite receiver and the projector into the UPS and everything else into the conditioner.

They're out of stock... Drat.

Figures. Ain't it always the case with the best prices?

That's often why they're the best prices...

OK...Don't be mad...really, forgive me but... I prefer FEDEX.

So Sorry

Heh... so do I. But their power supplies are crap.

I should have bought it yesterday. It's $229 this morning up from $149. The other store want's $96 to ship it to me....I give up.

Yeah, I think I may just wait for it to come back in stock.
