Title: Smart Power Strips - Woot Sale today (9/28/2012)
Post by: kahlid74 on September 28, 2012, 08:54:31 am

Woot's got smart power strips on sale today - http://tech.woot.com/plus/who-got-the-juice (http://tech.woot.com/plus/who-got-the-juice)

Their sale price is very close to the Brookstone smart strips ($19.99) but the four port smart adapter is cheaper.  I know people are always looking for these so thought I would post it.

Looks like they're slightly cheaper at Wal-Mart:

Yeap, for the strip style.  The 17.99 four port one however is the cheapest I've seen.  You could essentially buy that and then daisy chain another super cheap power strip off of it for additional ports.

The Cyberpower ones at Wal are a couple bucks cheaper.

I'm in Australia and have had troubles trying to find a power strip and I don't really want to buy one from overseas and use an adapter for each port. Has anyone found anything similar in Australia?

I have been looking for a while but can't find any at a decent price.

It's really easy to mod a regular one into a smart strip if you add a relay to it.

Do you have any good tutorials in mind for this?

Sweet, thanks. That'll save some decent coin as I have a few cabs that could benefit from a smart strip.

Or, you could buy the LiteMite, made by a BYOAC member
