Advantages: Save power and the need to grovel under my desk Disadvantages: none really
go out on my two TFT monitors and the printer and surround sound speakers turn off.
There is also a Powerdown designed for use with your Television, which can take all the peripheral boxes, such as VCRs, Satellite boxes and DVD players out of standby, thus saving a great deal of waste.
These handy gadgets retail for around £15, but it is worth looking on eBay for them, I got mine for £1.20 plus postage, which I think is a great deal.
They are often supplied free to customers of EON and to tenants of some housing associations, I first saw them when I went to do a job at the office of a housing association in Christchurch, where the store cupboard was full of them!
I will be looking for another, this time the TV version, to plug the TV, Sky Box, Home cinema and DVD player into. ...

Advantages: Great sound, Great looks Disadvantages: No remote control
The JBL On Time is a stylish, high performance iPod dock, RDS radio and alarm clock, available in black or white finish. It's one of the more expensive iPod docks on the market, but as with most things, you get what you pay for and the sound quality is FAR superior to cheaper alternatives (I also own an older Intempo iPod dock which was much cheaper but the sound quality is awful).

Before buying it, I'd only heard it inside a large, noisy department store and the sound didn't completely convince me, but I took the risk and bought one.

Advantages: Excellent sound for an excellent price! Solid build, 100 watts RMS Disadvantages: None for the price!
I have owned 2 pairs of JBL Control 1 speakers and they have never let me down! The first pair I owned I gave to my dad as he liked the sound so much!
These are bookshelf speakers and measure (H x W x D) 227 x 130 x 140 mm. They can be mounted on a stand, on a shelf or you can also order the wall brackets from jbl.
For the size they have an excellent sound, warm solid bass with crisp mid and treble. They are 100 watts RMS and can really handle some power. The speaker is 2 way, comprising of a 4" bass woofer and a 1/2" titanium laminate dome tweeter. These speakers also feature a front mounted bass port. When you play the speakers loud its is astonishing the amount of air that is forced out of the bass ports!
The speakers case is extremely tough, I have dropped one of my speakers (accidently, not some extreme test!) from ...
