Power strip

[Bosco83]

I can only find two power strips with individual switches. I like the first one because it would be easier to mount. I think the DJ strip would be higher quality but would kinda be a pain to mount in my stand. Would either of these be fine and which one would you choose?

Thanks,
Brian

I would do the second one. I am using the belkin. Those can be found at homedepot.

+1 on the second one!

Since I starting using the dj type power strips, I wouldn't ever go back to the other styles.

what makes them so good finn i might have to go that way too i have so many power strips

After seeing how the plastic ones are made, never again.
Plus once you get the dj power center mounted, it's a very clean look.

i will look into it thank you for your info

 

[Bosco83]

Yea that's what I figured don't know why I even asked lol. How about everyone show a picture of how you mounted them.

I'm in Bothell if you want to stop by and see how I mounted mine I'll show you. I drilled four small holes in the back of my stand and used zip ties and 90 degree angle to mount it flush to the back. I'll try to get pics up in the next 24hrs.

Try this! LOL

 

[mfinn]

Try this! LOL

This is cool

Thanks Finn

Ok, my mount isn't as neat as I could have, but mine is hidden inside the stand. As you open the door, it's right there for easy access.
This was suppose to be a temp. mounting ( 4 years ago), but I got lazy and left it like this.
I just used a small piece of 2x4 and a few screws.

Nice Finn!

Yes, very nice Finn. And 'Thanks' I finally ordered the DJ strip + 5pk of adapters + 1 splitter off Amazon for just under $55. Can't wait to clean up all wiring inside cabinet, and have switches instead of unpluging for cleaning etc...

Nice Finn!

Thanks


Once I saw these in other peoples build threads, I thought these would be a great alternative to the plastic light strips that were being used.

I guess I should quit throwing strips like this away. They come in some of the desk we get. All mountable. I take them out because each station is on a UPS.

Thanks for starting the thread, and all of you who posted pics so I could actually make sense of what was being said about how to put things together - I had no idea I could get something like this, and now I am drooling. Much appreciated!
