Re: [Slightly OT] - Mains stripblocks...

[Phillip Harris <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I've just found myself a nice little (slightly quirky) flat where
the electricity is included in the rent (obviously they've never come
across kit like mine before) but there aren't a lot of power sockets in the
place. It's the roofspace of a big Victorian townhouse, has its own private
entrance with a spiral staircase (crap, I forgot I have a fear of heights)
and nice safe parking for the Tiv. The owners of the house seem really cool
as well and they seem to be away quite a lot so I'll be able to make as
much noise as I want. :-D

The hifi on it's own will easily eat up one of the 12 way blocks although I
may try to build up some C-Bus controlled PDUs then I can have the amps and
subs switching in and out automagically!

Of course it may all fall through (getting the flat I mean, not my kit
through the ceiling - that could happen too I guess!) but hopefully it
won't... :-D
