My room has two sockets in use with two plugs on each 1: Two lamps, xbox, dvd player, satellite box, Tivo, Speakers, 20" LCD TV, 17" LCD, CPU, Phone Charger, Printer, IP Phone, Two Guitar Amps, and a Drum Sampler 2: 3x 24 port network switches, 5 port switch, Modem, smoothwall, Fileserver, email server, web server, Asterisk server, Battery Backup, 6 wireless access points(don't ask), and 6 IP Phones, and an LCD So, totals: 1: 16, 2: 24
Not only am I going to ask why you have 6 wireless access points, I'm interested why you have 3x24 port switches, and a 5 port one too.
Wireless access points - One will stay, others are just being configured to be moved to other parts of the house. Switches - Everything needs to get it's network from somewhere, there is a good amount of computers and IP Phones in my house. 5 port switch - Splits internet to the different servers that have a static internet ip, didn't wanna waste a VLAN on the 24 port switches.
1 x 3 + 1 x 2 way wall sockets, with a 4 way attached to each one powering Socket 1 - 4 way #1 = Scorpion, Speakers, Lamp, Switch Socket 2 = Screen Socket 3 = Rotates between laptop and hairdryer Socket 4 - 4 way #2 = Xbox, Salamander, Screen Socket 5 = Rotates between two phone chargers, and the TV I need more sockets...
2 plug adapters using 7 sockets. Man...decent conversation and threads are running really really low. Ian
I know this is blasphemy, but you have WAY too many computers. Not to mention way too big of a house if it needs SIX access points...
I don't have that many computers, I could use some more computers. But I do have a big power bill if that means anything. My house is 4,754 sq ft if that means anything to you.
