Power Strip Choices?

[Genomecop]

Afternoon all. Can someone give me some suggestions on what everyone is using as a 'powerstrip' in their setup. I see from a lot of threads there are many choices and I'm trying to get an idea on what to get.
thanks.

I'm not sure if it's the right thing or not but I just have a typical 6 plug power strip with a surge protector on it

Rosewill 6 Outlet Power Strip with Individual Switches and 6-Feet Cord (RPS-210BL) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K9607TY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0Z65AbFA5WCZ7

This power strip is handy I use it in my saltwater mix tanks to quickly turn outlets on and off.

This is going in my reboot build:

I like that one! I wish it came in a wide spaced version for larger power plugs.

I’m thinking about using 6” extensions on all of the outlets so I can hide the plugs. :)

I use these too, I have them on a few of my tanks and mixing station.

I also use the DJ PC-100A. I mounted a piece of plywood on the inside of the stand to hide the electrical cords. Also mounted the strip far enough back to close the removable stand door if I choose to. Nice to just flip a switch when you want to power something up or turn it off.

Its not so much for the battery back up, I use it more because it regulates the voltage and prevents spikes if the power goes out and surges on. They make big ones that can last hours, but the unit I use will probably only last about 20 minutes. I use the ups's more for the stability aspect.

These are awesome! I've had one running in my test rack(used to have more stuff in it, had to pull my DSP for a rush project) at work for over 2 years now:

Does anyone have any more pics of there setup? I am dealing with the same thing. Trying to figure out where to mount the switch board and controllers sorry not trying to take over this thread.

Really like this setup very clean

Honestly I went with a power tool designed powerstrip from Lowe's (can't remember the brand off hand), it had more plug-ins and they are spaced further apart. I have found both of these features to be indispensable as there are often devices that have plugs that would hog up 2 to 3 plug in spaces if they were on the standard close together powerstrip and the extra plug ins have proven invaluable as well.

American DJ has several different styles of "power bars" that have various different mounting methods.
