Hi Mike,
No can do on getting a UPS as my living space is just too small as it is. My apartment is basically three rooms - a large kitchen, a full bathroom, and a large living/bed room. Which houses my bed, a triple-dresser (with only a tiny closet I have to keep all seasonal clothing in the dresser), a 19" flat-screen CRT television with digital cable box and DVD player, my computer desk and chair, a Mesa-Boogie Studio Caliber guitar amplifier, two electric guitars on wall hangers, my newly bought Ibanez electric-acoustic in a floor stand, a small Traynor practice amp, my large DigiTech guitar-modeler hardware, assorted effects petals and guitar cables, a nightstand, and finally a wooden floor stand just large enough to hold my Brother color laser printer. Whew! I'm exhausted just writing it all out ...
So as you can see, if I can avoid adding any more *physical* items that would take up floor space the better off I am ...
I bought my guitar-modeler (a DigiTech GNX3000 for full digital recording and modeling of assorted vintage and new amps along with a slew of digital guitar effects) without taking into consideration the space needed for hooking it up to my newly purchased Gene Alexander computer. As it stands three-months later, I have to figure out the placement of the gear, as I need to run the DigiTech through the Mesa-Boogie amp's effects loop, then into my computer, also allowing for plugging in my guitar (which obviously I have to allow for the length of a full size Les-Paul guitar) into the modeler. So basically I need to wait for those times when my back and knee problems allow for me to get down on the floor with a tape-measure and layout all the recording and computer gear. CAD is great for playing around with various configurations, but the dimensions of everything has to 100% accurate! So I have my work cut out for me. Plus, just writing this up I realized I need to also allow for a stool for sitting when playing and recording since my computer chair is unusable for sitting and playing a guitar!
Yikes!
Greg

Just a thought for
you: those puny surge protector strips are very limited but
(especially for
phone lines) one at the point of entry cascaded with a second one
several feet
away near the actual equipment reduces the surge MUCH better than
a single
point protection scheme.
Thanks Will for the info. I knew that the POS strips didn't do much to protect electronic gear but I didn't know a two-strip approach would be a better route to go. I need to get some sort of protection for my new system. I was hoping to get something that would simply plug into a two-gang receptacle, replacing the face-plate.
Would you happen to have any suggestions for a quality piece?
(Basically money is no longer an issue. I bought my system from Gene Alexander of EERAC Computers and want it to be protected!)
TIA
