I'm sure I am not the only person here who has a rediculous amount of devices in my home office. Doing a quick count I have:
  • pc1
  • pc2
  • mac mini
  • server1
  • server2
  • monitor1
  • monitor2
  • external hd1
  • external hd2
  • switch
  • wifi
  • router
  • empeg
  • amp
  • printer
  • usb hub
  • lamp
  • laptop dock
  • battery chargers
  • scanner
  • fax
  • shredder
  • radio

I am trying to be more sensible and turn things off when I am not using them. At the moment everything is connected by a mess of a series of cheap/nasty 4 and 6 gang unswitched extension leads.

I want to improve on this. I want to be able to switch each device off separately and I want to be able to easily see which device is on. Ideally I'd like it all to not take up too much space...

The best I can come up with so far are cheap and nasty 8 gang switched extension leads from Homebase, which are huge and further add to the oil refinery look of my room at night...

Does anyone have any better ideas ?

P.S. I'm in the UK, so UK only solutions please
