Great power idea for cramped space

[MrTuskfish]

One of my kids brought me a couple of these from College. All my tank elec & plumbing go straight down to my basement now, so I use them in my office. But I've been up to my arse in many tank cabinets where one of these would have prevented a lot of foul language:http://www.quirky.com/products/44-Pivot-Power-Flexible-Power-Strip

While those look cool, they (any "plastic" power strip) is a fire waiting to happen when used in our systems. If you do use a plug strip, it should be of the variety that has individual simplex receptacles and a steel case. They are more expensive (comercial use) but will not melt or catch on fire as easily due to arcing caused by salt creep or a spill.

I took the time to write a short warning and best practice article published at my website

Below are random photos of the "proper" style (read MUCH safer) plug strips!
