Re: How do you guys deal with multiple brick AC adapters?
I haven't had to deal with this yet, as most of my stuff is packed away, but I'll most likely make my own power squid. Buy a few female ends and use some spare cord...should be less than $40 and be customized for however many connections you need.

I have a powersquid, and another one that's like a powersquid but is shaped like a person. They're a little more pricey, but I'd say they're worth it. I can always use more powerstrips so it wasn't a big deal to get more.

Geeze that Squid is just adding more cord to get tangled. I use electrical power bar with plenty of spacing for the transformer plugs.

Gonna need a bigger shelf. (There are shorter ones)

^ That's pretty cool. I wouldn't use it behind my TV, but I'd definitely use something like that to make a pedal board.
Yeah, that's what I would use (and I do, since I have a similar style surge protector).nielse16 wrote:APC Performance Surge Arrest 11 Outlet

Room for 6 bricks plus 5 standard plugs.

Not sure, mounted under the table. Inexpensive, you can find at electrical warehouse stores such as FRYS or online Amazon.fuctfuct wrote:That's a nice one.

If you are really bored, add in all the VGA, HDMI, Component Cable, S-Video and Composite hookups to that schematic.
Now that will be a real "Squid".
