Had mine blown once, and it destroy all the equipment it suppose to protect behind. After that I moved to Cal-lab, and never need to replace my equipment again, only replace the cal-lab.

So, Belkin is not that reliable?
What brand would you guys suggest that I use? I intend to place it behind my TV cabinet and I feel that the Power Logic AVR is too big and bulky.

Also, can I use surge protectors bought from the USA?

Maybe look at cal-lab.

Last year when I went there to make a claim, I was informed that if you chose to claim warranty on the electrical items, you cannot claim the Belkin Surge Protector. You have to surrender the faulty Belkin Surge Protector.
If you don't claim the electrical items, then they will exchange a new Belkin Surge Protector (same model) for you.

Maybe too many people claims already.

Claiming is one, but the time spend to reconfigure the IT equipment in original running conditions is a hassle. Imagine you have a nas storage and it fry the broad and storage.

Cal-lab operate different from most of the surge protector, cal-lab isolate it. That is when lightnings hit, the cal-lab box 99% is fried and leaving behind the equipment safe.
