Need a new surge protector/ups.

For my A/V rack I have an old 7 or 8 outlet cyber power surge protector. I got a new component today and had to move something to the "extra" outlet on the bakc of my reciever. I am guessing it's safe to do but would rather not, to be honest.

I got a $100 GC to Best Buy for xmas. Was considering going down and picking up a decent one with enough outlets to handle all of my components.

Receiver
Blu Ray player
DVD player
Wii
WD TV Live
WD External hard drive
Router
Comcast DVR
Comcast cable signal booster.
subwoofer


I think that's it.

The ones at BB that have that many outlets in the TV/Video section are ~$300. I don't want to invest any more than maybe another $100, so $200 total.

I do have one of these for my computer. I could put it behind my rack and I think it would look OK.

Any other suggestions?
 
Usually those rear outlets are rated for something like 100 watts or something. It should say on the back.
(So don't hook the sub up to it for example)

I looked at a lot of power conditioner / surge protector options a while ago here due to an electrical issue with my old place.

I still don't really feel comfortable knowing what's what, but there are a lot of opinions in there if you want to get your feet wet.
