New Review: Bits Limited SmartStrip
rampy:
I should review my 20 dollar sears strip (although it has less bells and whistles than that one... i.e. no surge supression... less outlets etc)
I like the blue man group tubes intro music, kev...

do you think it'll work if I plug my conv cabinet's power cord into the control plug, the computer, speakers, etc into the rest of the plugs? I just want to reach up on top of the cabinet and flip the switch.
Thanks!

Heh...I just don't like the fact that if I make a mistake something's probably going to go up in smoke (probably me!)
I have distinct memories of trying to wire up a celing fan in a room that my father had assured me he'd turned off the circuit breaker for...my arms were numb for a week!

I don't know if what you propose will work, as it depends on if your computer can be set up to automatically turn on when power is supplied to it.
If your computer's BIOS doesn't have a "auto-resume" feature, you might want to plug the computer into the monitored outlet, and the rest of the cab into the switched outlets.

Anywhere to get these for cheaper?
Or better yet, any way to modify an existing Strip to have this functionality?
