Well found, I've been looking for one of these for years, without success. There was a cheaper one, but it only had 3 sockets, which is no good to me.

Not a bad price also ... these things can be costly sometimes.

tescos also sell 4ways for a quid, couldnt you just plug a 4way into the smaller one for more sockets? as long as the pc is in the master itll just send power to all in the 4way, im thinkin.

They wouldnt order one in off there website for me so i been looking round last few months then went and got one from BnQ £19 for a 6way  then went do my food shopping and tesco had the got some in   :angry: intellipanel 8 socket for £16.97 on offer  they were on a end isle next to a HD dvd player and cheap computer system and they were also selling on offer, they also  had the home entertainment one for about £28 but hat wasnt on offer.

It looks like this will be the choice if mine too.  (I was seaching for a Smartstrip that has 220W output)

Just to to be shure...you guys in England use 220W like the rest of EU right ?

My mother in law is a pensioner and got an e-on powerdown for free by phoning a number out of a magazine.  As she has no computer she gave it to me.

After a little research - it may be exactly what you are looking for ( its £12 - but I don't know how much the postage is )

have a look https://www.eonshop.co.uk/ShowProducts.aspx?Category=5 (https://www.eonshop.co.uk/ShowProducts.aspx?Category=5)

THX for the link ! I'll right now read it.
Can you please tell me is this meant for 220 W or 110 W devices ?

Great ! That means I only have to solve one last problem  ;D

On the left side we can see the UK standard and on the right side the standard for the rest of EU (like me)

But I know it must be some adapter to solve it. Maybe you guys know where to buy them ?
