my dad picked up the 20 port bored from the market, lucky find. just google up dicksmith, tandy or something or other in your area im sure they will have 8 points.. but they get really expensive.
i use to have a large powerbored prob fit about 20 sockets into it. but there wasnt any surge protection. had my computer/monitor/router/modem/etc. used up about 15. but when i got my dj equipment i was scared of power outages. because i have them frequently in the heat. so to be safe i got some 10 point boards with surge protection cost about 30 bucks for one. and it is not safe to jump from one power board to the other lol
this is a good question, i know a few dj's who do this to their mixes. im not quite sure about the legal situation but. when they come on ill ask them but im sure someone on this forum knows =) just give it time any way welcome to Ausdjforum!
