1. I believe it acts just like an extension cord, and shouldnt affect your computer volts at all
BUT
2. I think the plug stays active when the computer is turned off. Consult the manual.

surge protectors are meant to go into the wall...you dont plug them into anything else

should be fine for just your printer, modem, monitor. it's just a jump of the main power line to the psu, that line will carry more than enough juice i'd think. it is also switched, i read this in the review as i'm shopping for the same psu, when i do get mine, the additional outlet will power my water pump

Could you give us some screen shots of your voltages at idle & load?

how about this...you use the surge protector for your main computer...and plug everything into their...and if you dont have enough room..move one plug from the main one..and put it into the secondary...and plug the secondary..into the main plug
