Our exploration of uninterruptible power supplies continues. This time around, we take a shot at Tripp-Lite’s SMART1000LCD.

Tired of the same old boring surge protectors? Join us as we tear down a far fancier unit — SurgeX's pricy SA-1810.

The iconic Tripp-Lite isobar falls under the knife in today's power strip tear-down. Is this unit as well-built as its heritage suggests?

Tom's Hardware tears apart LG's W2452V, an older 24-inch display that fell into disrepair. With a bit of clever soldering and some new capacitors, we get it back up and running.

What is in a name? Given the generally-inflated retail prices associated with this well-known home theater accessories brand, we wanted to dig deeper into Monster's technical side. Let's take a peek.

In this third and final part of this series, we take a look at three units from some of the most popular brands in IT-related power products. All of your patience is about to pay off: we're also picking an overall winner.

After our first tear-down, APC wanted to send in a modern equivalent to demonstrate the company's dedication to quality. Follow along as we tear open another power strip and dig deep into its electrical composition.
