How do you manage all your audio, PC and power cables?
I have so many cables behind my desk between audio, PC and power cables that it makes it difficult to keep power cables away from audio cables to prevent noise. They look horrible. I'm always nervous that it's a fire hazard having so many power cables plugged into daisy chained power strips.
I have 2 outlets behind my desk and 8 total outlets (2 on each wall) in my music room that all go to the same 20amp circuit breaker. Only my music room is on that 20amp circuit breaker. I use a P4400 Kill A Watt ( http://www.p3international.com/products/p4400.html ) to measure the watts and amps and it never gets above 1000 watts or 9amps.
Here's a list of power connections:
Behind My Desk Power Connections: Total = 24
* PC Tower
* Laptop
* 4x LCD Monitors 2x 24" and 2x 40"
* 6x powered speakers
* Powered Sub
* Monitor Speaker Selector
* Audio MIDI Interface
* Control Surface
* 61 Key MIDI Keyboard Controller
* Axe-Fx II
* Axe-Fx III
* FAMC LF+ MFC
* 4x External Hard Drives
Power Connections To Other Outlets In The Room: Total = 6
* Fiber Optic Modem
* Wifi Router
* All In One Printer
* Electronic drum kit
* Wireless Security Camera hub
* Cell Phone and Wireless Security Camera Charger
