    Good power extension.

    http://www.scan.co.uk/shop/computer-...er-accessories

    Can anyone suggest a good power cord/extension, that will be able to to take a 550W, monitor, 2.1 speakers and an extra accessory. 6 socket preferred.

    thanks.

    I use one from Ikea, I think it cost £4. It even has its own on/off switch. You're talking 3A at the wall at the most, its not a lot of load.

    ^lol

    Well, all scan items are showing a delivery charge (Is it a one time offer only? - the free delivery). So I went ahead with amazon (prime)

    All that cost, and they still can't fit the sockets the right way up!

    I own loads of these: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/6-way...18m-power-lead and never had an issue.

    Free delivery requires min £20 exc. VAT total order value IIRC.

    But the unfiltered mains voltage is so pure! Especially if you buy the £3000 IEC cable as well!

    Re: Good power extension.

    I nip down to B&Q and by a pair of four way for about a fiver - but clearly the performance of my electric drill will be much better with those Russel and Andrews devices - and I can use the MegaClamp to hold the workpiece still. And its ability to correct imbalances will be useful when I am standing on a ladder and over-reaching!
