I can't believe it's shutting down. It's been anandtech and ars technica for me everyday since... Forever.
Others have already posted this but yes, Chips and Cheese is awesome. Deep, deep, dives into all sorts of chips. And of course Dr Ian is there. It's a young site that's very promising.
I've had no issues with mine and the Tii should be about the same. They shouldn't affect the signal at all, they're basically a MOV or GDT attached to the cable line in parallel. There's nothing in between the signal.
I'd say its worth it for myself but for you, just consider what would...
Not exactly true, cheap home UPS's are standby. Line interactive is the bulk of UPS topologies from middle end home all the way to enterprise environments. In fact, *most* UPS's in enterprises are line interactive. Only the most mission critical stuff uses dual conversation.
And if yours...
Don't bother with true sine wave for PCs. The simulated sine wave UPSs are fine and way way cheaper.
These are pretty good for the price and offers PowerPanel for Linux...
Yup, agreed. I just have coax myself and this is the cheapest I'd get for $20:

I personally use this one:

Polyphaser is my preferred maker of coax...
I didn't see your budget issues but if your that tight with your budget, I probably wouldn't even bother with a whole house solution. Are you installing it yourself? An electrician costs money too. Remember your protecting your whole house, its worth it to actually pay say over $100.
Here's...
Well this is what happens when you post about surge protectors in any tech forum, westom comes along and all hell breaks loose :)
Your Lowes guy is correct. Whole house is the way to go because these types of units are generally very well built and will protect your ENTIRE house. Most really...
Out of curiosity, what is the exact model of the APC UPS causing trouble? There's more than 2 types of UPSs, there is also the middle ground, line interactive UPSs which have an autoformer that can boost and trim voltage. I'm wonder if this one is a cheapy standby type or line interactive.
So whats the big difference? I've been researching this and noticed a few things like much higher MTBF. But how do they do it? Is there any real difference in how they design/build these drives?
The only thing I've noticed is the addition of vibration sensors and methods to mitigate...
Actually, just go to home depot's electrical dept. They have it on their huge spools. Tell them what you need and they'll cut the length. Make sure to get CL2 or CL3 rated cable for inwall use. Its a rating use by the fire dept to make sure its safe.
What do you listen to? Different headphones have different attributes they're better at doing. At $100, there's plenty of options. There's even more options if you don't mind used/refurb on Ebay or Amazon.
Also, portable or home use?
Just to perpetuate this thread even more, here is a great example (and a great deal if near the starting bid price) on a high end "whole house unit"...
Ok ok, I'll respond with some geek-ish surge tech overview on this.
There really are 2 scenarios to how a whole house unit can melt down (The assumption here is that this is a typical whole house protector with parallel MOVs soldered together or a single large MOV with no encasing material)...
