Not only did a I pick up a new car this week, I managed to rearrange and move a decent amount of my home gear. Among other changes and issues, I ran out of power outlets in the bedroom. I’ve (now) got two cable boxes, a TiVo, ITVN, Slingbox AV, Buffalo wireless bridge, and of course the television. While technically I do have enough outlets, three of the devices have those fat block power adapters which end up commandeering multiple outlets. And then I was reminded of Belkin’s clever power solutions over on Gizmodo. $24 and two days later (shipping), I’m completely operational.
How do you like it so far? I was thinking about picking one of these up, so I won’t have to use 2 power strips…
So far, so good. The design is very smart. Supposedly there is also $300k in insurance should it not protect my gear from a surge, but I’ve always wondered if anyone is ever able to collect. (And I’d prefer my gear just keep working anyway.)
