Mount it on the wall / fireplace behind the TV and run the cord along the base of the platform. Use zipties to pull the excess wires together and secure to the surge protector.

Flush power strip, closer to wall color, rotatable or flush rotatable extension cord to use with your current strip

Mounting tape for the underside of the desk or the wall

Zip ties and anchors

Looks awesome!

What are the make and models of the PSUs?

Also, most 'surge protectors' don't protect against surges. this is a surge protector*.

This and things like this will do exactly fuckall.

Even the 'real' surge protector that I linked however will fail to do much if the power you are getting is just 'dirty'. Stuff like that will take the hit from say, a lightning bolt, but if that 120hz signal is wavering between 100 and 140, then your mileage may vary.

If you want real protection, get a battery backup. That'll partition your electronics away from the wall.

Are there IEC cables with inline switches? I've done Raspberry Pi setups with an inline switch (on the USB power cable), but I would be terrified of soldering one to a fat IEC cable like pedal power supplies use... If it was a one-spot, I could do a rocker switch before the end, then daisy chain, but I don't want the noise (or spaghetti nest).

I'll look into mounting an extra strip or maybe a power conditioner at that point... connect the amp, elevenRack, pedal power, and then I'll be ready for potential rack fx or a behringer FBC1010...

Anyone use a Power Conditioner instead of surge protectors (when you have other rack gear to begin with)? If not, anyone notice difference between cheap vs expensive (or very expensive)surge protectors?

Gorgeous work!

May I recommend a right-angle surge protector?

There are some power strips where the connector is fairly flat.
