I have a Tripplite HTPowerbar10. If you check Google you'll find lots of dealers that should be the same or better than the Ebay price. Not sure if the warrantly is tranferable from a private party.

Imho, since you are spending a good deal of cash on your HT setup, don't skimp on something for a few dollars less, that might not have protection you need.

I love my Tripplite and it has great specs. Also, if you look around and use Google, Froogle, Yahoo Shopping, etc... you can find it for under 100 bucks. I think I paid about 89 for mine a few months ago including shipping...

Blackie, a surge suppressor could possibly be of benefit in some cases. One of the units available at a reasonable price, such as this Tripp-Lite could be considered.

that's a really good deal. However, i live in canada and buy.com won't ship it to me. I'll try and look around for that model, but it is tough for canadian shoppers. I see all the best deals down in the states.
