Can I use this green power as a regular surge protector to used in home to connect my computer with all its peripherals? Monitors, speakers, case, etc

Yes you can use it for anything. You will want to turn off the power savings mode so when you turn off monitor, tv etc it won't turn everything plugged into the green outlets.

I installed this on my grandson's computer with 350watt power supply. Only one hard drive and one dvd/cd drive. As long as you don't have a lot of power consuming additions you should be ok!

A plain power strip- -no problem as long as the total combined load does not exceed the rating of the UPS. Plugging a surge protector strip is not recommended.

Your question would indicate that you want a UPS, and uninterrupted power supply; no it doesn't do that but it does prevent damage from power surges. Brown out protection requires a UPS.

Yes, you can use this just for power, simply do not connect the male ethernet connectors to anything. Thanks

Possible, but if your computer is working well otherwise to be honest your power is probably fine. It's cheap enough to try.

I have not had a problem with this surge protector. I have all my computer equipment plugged into it.

My advice for a computer is to buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) battery backup. Belkin, APC, CyberPower are good choices. I have two CyberPower's, one to protect my iMac and Time Capsule backup and another to protect my 42" TV, Mac Mini and backup disk. A simple wall plug surge protector just isn't designed to protect these devices against the kind of surge you get from a lighting strike.

I would NOT recommend that. You would be potentially overloading it's designed protection capacity and could damage your electronics.

I have all sorts of things plugged into it. I see no reason that you can't plug in a desktop into it

Check the power requirement of your computer, (How many Watts does it need?) This Surge Suppressor is rated at 1920 Watts Total. (120 Volts X 16 Amps=1920 watts) Ohm's Law: P= I X E. As long as you don't have your computer, monitor, printer all hooked into it at once, you will be fine. Hope that helps.

You might be able to, but it isn't safe to do so. I use a Portable GFCI Plug with mine. You can find them on amazon at the following page: TRC 90033 Shockshield White Portable GFCI Plug with Surge Protection

I have a power surge protector -- just in case there is a lightning storm and if it knocks out the motor I will not be a happy camper. An extension of this arrangement means, a UPS may work. I see why not. Principle is the same. Actually, a UPS is a smart move.

Yes, that's true. If you plug it into a surge protector it will not work properly, if at all.

power supply yes but if you want to pack all the other stuff in it maybe if you take all the foam out. But then that would defeat the purpose of having that case to protect the laptop so carry the extras in something different.

Please note that this is not a converter. It is a surge protector and power strip.

No, I use it plugged into a regular double 3-prong wall outlet which also has the surge protector for my desktop computer, printer, modem and wi-fi plugged into the other half.
