Gets the job done.

Pros: Works well.

Cons: "safety" outlet blockers are a bit cheap. Some of them have snapped off. Not hard to snap them back in in most instances. The MOVs in the product are not well matched to 120V, but that isn't too uncommon for consumer level power strips. Then again, I think the price on these has gone up as well since I bought it.

Pros: No performance complaints on the unit. 6 months, no issues, until today.

Cons: Don't make the mistake of plugging in the wrong cord! Magic smoke will be let out, and you will be tremendously sad. After powercycling the equipment, the linksys router cord got switched with the TRENDnet powercord, and there was plenty of magic smoke to be had. There is no keying to the power cord, so there is no rejection feature to keep you from using a higher amperage power supply :( Also, there is of course, no fusing to catch the misapplication, so I'm down a switch.

meh.

Pros: Cheap speakers.

Cons: Cheap speakers. I'm not normally one to worry about computer speaker sound quality, but it is quite hollow sounding. Beats headphones, but not much else.
