I've always wanted to have everything running of X10, all hidden away. You could distribute low voltage over a Cat5 network, going back to a central location where the wall wart would be kept. Make custom patch cords up using different pairs for different voltages so you don't blow your stuff up. To turn something on and off just select it from a web page etc...

Maybe not the most practical solution, but it sure would be cool

The more I think about this idea, the more I think it's total rubbish There should be better solutions to these sorts of power problems...
