    I've been looking for a way to make my own individual outlet switch power strip. After days of scouring the cloud, I came across this......

    Multi power switch strip

    I'd love to see if anybody else has their own way of doing this. I want to do DIY, but this strip has me thinking.

    You can't even buy the switches for that price.

    Most people use a DJ power center. Basically the same thing, but 18" rack mountable.
    Will try and find a quick pic....

    Edit:
    Found a couple.

    You can pick up the 8 switch one for $30 every day for PSSL, musicians friend, and guitar center.

    LOL, If I could give you Karma twice I would, that's exactly what I was looking for. Very much appreciated.

    I will use the DJ one day, with an apex, it doesn't seem neccessary, but physical buttons are much easier to use IMO, in conjunction with the apex timers.
