I called Monster, and the guy did not really sound like a really knowledgeable tech, but who am I to judge. I explained it to him and he said it soundled like it took a hit, Although there were no storms in the area, or anything out of the ordinary. He said if I shipped the unit back, they would give me a discount on another.

I ended up ordering a Tripp Lite from New Egg, very reasonably priced and has a longer warranty than Monster. I wasnt looking for one of the really cool looking products like the top of the line Monster stuff (but it would look neat!), just something to protect my stuff.

He agreed that having the 2600 and 1200 hooked up at different outlets but same circuit, should not be an issue.
