No room ever in the entire world has enough power sockets. Right now I have a 4 way multi-socket in one wall socket, 2 8 way multi-sockets in two other wall sockets, a 4 way multi-socket coming out of one of those and I’m now having to remodel my entire room to fit everything in. I’m going to have to order at least 3 more multi-sockets this week to cope.
The amount of sockets I need is silly. I mean, hypothetically if I was using everything at once…
- UPS
- Old laptop
- Scanner
- Desktop
- Monitor
- Sound system
- Wireless access point
- Switch
- Router
- Old desktop
- External hard drive
- External DVD-RW
- Playstation
- SNES
- TV
- Freeview box
- DVD player
- Old DVD player
- Scanner
- USB hub
- Laptop
- k800i charger
- k700i charger
- Lamp
- Other lamp
- Guitar amp
- Stereo
- Camcorder mains lead
- Camera charger
- Toaster
- TV arial
Of course, I wouldn’t use everything at the same time but most of that stuff wants to be plugged in all the time, it’s mainly chargers that wouldn’t ideally want a dedicated power socket. Even when you take all of that stuff off – that is a hell of a lot of sockets.
My UPS will soon be able to feed my computers though which will help a bit, especially if I can get regular multi-sockets to go into it though I will probably have more electrical equipment arriving over the next 6 months to take up even more sockets.
