Dual PSU kettle plug problem

[agnes]

ok, i got the Lian Li PC-A10B case, i will be getting my replacement rad and pump tuesday or wednesday, but ive come accross a dilema, i have moved rooms, and i dont have enough sockets in this room, ive got some ups, but not enough sockets for everything i use (TV, dvd player, Xbox, xbox 360, ps2, pc, monitor1, monitor2)

so, i was wondering if there is a Y splitting kettle plug avalible in this world?

so i could plug on kettle plug in, and then it would split and run into both my psu's at the same time.

p.s. i might be really stupid here, so let me know lol

Why not just get a second multi socket thingy?

Well there is something like that but i haven't seen one for years, it's like a splitter that you plug into both PSUs, then you just get a normal kettle lead and plug it piggy back into the back of one of the plugs of the splitter.
No idea where to get one though as the one i saw was about 10+ years ago in my dad's box of spare cables.

edit: i found one after 2 seconds on google search for...kettle lead splitter

hmmm, then it might be worth popping down to the local bnq and getting a 4 plug extension

i personaly wouldnt use that for powering two base units, i would use it on 2 monitors or a monitor and a printer.

If you had read the op, you would have seen its for one base system running two psu`s

Well we have those powering about 120 pc base units atm, one to two base units since the base units have LCDs built in, PIV 3Ghz with 1Gb RAM as well so no slouch on power demand, working for months with no fires or blown fuses yet

Could you not just unplug the xbox and just use the 360?

same here, have broken perfectly working things trying to get it 'just right' and end up pulling down something from a shelf by mistake or like one time verifying a SATA connector was in tight and ended up pulling off the entire assembly from the hard drive by cracking the pcb... I really hate SATA connectors, especially first generation ones

i bought the cheapy non premium version, so i dont have a HDD for the 360, so no xbox games can play on it, therefore, i need it

Sell the xbox and buy a hard drive for the 360.
