I need a safe power strip to use for LAN parties, I've had my PC crash before because it was plugged into a cheap strip. 

I have used one of these for years, held strong even with me and 4 friends plugged into it at a programming event.

Something to keep in mind:

in North America, or any place that uses 120v try to plug in only 3 or 4 computers. Wouldn't recommend any more as 120v/15a only provides 1800w, and 1800w over 4 computers is 450w/computer

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

They are coax, you shouldn't need them. They are for cable TV.
