Turning on my new computer tripped my main circuit breaker, and the PC wouldn't power on afterwards, likely a fried PSU. To guard against future surges, I picked up the Belkin Economy Series 4-Socket Surge Protector.
I bought the SoundTeoh Tower Socket With 9 Outlets from Home-Fix at Ion Orchard for S$69.90. Its tower design is a great space saver, and with nine sockets you'll no longer need multi-plug adapters. There's also an eight-outlet variant available.
I bought a packet of three PowerPac Plug Keys from Challenger at Funan for S$0.90, or S$0.72 with a 20% member's discount. Each Plug Key converts a 3-pin socket to accept a 2-pin power cable, since Singapore follows British standard.
I bought a pack of two Taiyo 3-Pin Plug Adapters from Challenger at Funan for S$14.90, or S$13.41 with a 10% member's discount. I like that each of its three 3-pin sockets has an individual switch.
With my cable Internet contract expiring, I'm switching to Fibre before 24th August 2011. With no Fibre Termination Point in my room, the gateway must move to the living room. To ease the move, I got the Belkin Surge Protector.
