I Have Too Many Devices Plugged Into Too Few Outlets (via extension cords). What Can I Do?

[crazyface]

...besides get rid of my devices!

Between my computer stuff and my stereo stuff, I have crammed full the extension cords. I am worried that my devices may not be getting good electricity, and also that they might overload their outlet. I have no more outlets available to me at this time.

Is there any solution? Would a power-supply unit help? If so, what kind?

Thank you!

There's nothing you can do in this case short of making a total calculation of the power consumption (in Watts) of all the devices on the circuit in question and making sure that you're not in danger of overloading the circuit. If you're pushing the limit, it would be a good idea to consult an electrician and have some appropriate modifications made. See here for some basic information on the subject.

These gadgets are good for a quick figure on power consumption.
