My 2c,

I can attest to the replacement of powerboards by Belkin, very obliging, after 
the switch on the board collapsed/ failed. I had bought a replacement then read 
the new box - doh - but you can always find something that may need protection.

When considering surge protectors - slightly off topic:

please consider other household items

After a power surge last year in the Hills, and losing a very expensive coffee 
machine and phone answering machine, you might consider you dishwasher, dryer 
and washing machines, that may always be plugged in, too. the $10 surge 
protector didn't save the coffee machine. Western Power thought repair cost 
only ($1800 out of $2400) and not replacement was 'fair' - then 3 month wait 
for spare parts at least...

Belkin laptop protectors ($200 @ Harvey Norms - can be on special for $100 - 
$150 - if you look about) all about now.

had boards replaced no questions asked. You just ring Belkin and they stand
behind them.
