Thanks Kaytrim - puts my mind at ease. Also, that hot glue tip is great. I'm definitely going to fire up the glue gun after I get the thing installed and go to town.
Kaytrim:
If you have it wired wrong you should only trip the circuit breaker in your fusebox. To be real sure that you have things right take a multi-meter set on continuity and check which wires go to which prongs on the outlets. You should have results like this little diagram I drew for you.
MinerAl:
Hot glue works great, unless you have a short or draw too much current... then it melts and runs all over. Use a two part (non-conductive) epoxy instead. It's permanent-er though.

I don't want to throw a spanner in the works but I am not sure about the wiring.
Reason? Yesterday I purchased a new LCD. It came with 2 power cables. 1 for NZ/OZ and the other USA.
Rather than cut a good cable, I cut the plug end off the US one instead to be hard wired into a cocktail.
Because we have different colour wires I thought it would be best to double check to make sure I had it right.
I was sure in my mind White was positive (hot, live.) Well I was wrong. It was the Black.
On the end of the plug that goes into the monitor it has little letters under each hole.
L (live, positive, hot) was Black
N (neutral) was white
Green is earth.
I tested this with a Multi Meter and was amazed that I had this wrong because it seemed obvious that white was Live. :-\
JaveryH. Please double check you wiring and can someone tell me wtf is going on?
Dudeman:
US Electrical code
Black and Red are hot
White is neutral (which is electrically the same as ground because the both go to ground at the breaker panel)
Green or bare is ground
