Where you have 2 power bars with 8 outlets, and 4 outlets in the room, but it's still not enough? The one empty spot I have is partially covered, so only some of my connectors can fit in there. So right now, I'm migrating quite a few of my electronics to a new part of my room so I can hook everything up.
Sigh.... gg power connecters that block 2 outlet slots. |

For my computer I've got 8 components that need a USB plug.
The only problem is that my computer only has 2 holes. So I went and bought a USb PCI card only to find that cause I don't have SP2 I can't install it.
Hows that for bastard luck? |

Eh... the last apartment I was in had wiring that's like 30 years old and couldn't handle my computer setup (tower, monitor, modem+router, speakers, etc)... Annoyed the crap out of me.
And this apartment; 2 electrical outlets, but only 1 cable outlet, so i'm kinda stuck in one corner for my computer... |

Run enough stuff off a couple of power strips and you'll get what happened to me two weeks ago.
The wall plug melted, and was glowing...light smoke filled the room. My trusty fire extinguisher got it in time. Got it out of the wall myself...BEFORE the three fire trucks arrived. 
Don't overload your sockets peeps.  |

lol and what else do your "Gerbils" do for you? lol
I have an erxtension cord running from another room so i can plug up my second block for my Tv, surround sound, Xbox360, and Ps2. but thats because I only use one plugin of the three in this room. it was an addition added on to the house. all of the electrical outlets were ran off of a singal light = / old houses FTL |

Hey
that's pretty cool!
But If you REALLY have all those things, and you're using all those outlets AND STILL don't have enough, that's bad.
If you really are running off al those power strips, you'll blow a couple outlets
or fuses.
I would reccomend either more powerstrips into different outlets.
Make sure your outlets provide GFCI, don't want to waste a much needed outlet, or the things that are hooked up to it. |
