I've always had my monitor plugged into this outlet. (I think I saw it in the manual-yeah, "Hi, my name is Steve, and I read my manual" . . . "Hi steve!") Anyway, I have been reading this thread, and today I thought to myself, sure wish I could plug all my peripherals into that outlet, since it's switched. So, my first question is, can I plug a power strip into the outlet, and then plug my peripherals into the power strip without overloading my Mac? I currently have a computer speaker setup, scanner, printer, FW drive. Or, has anyone had good luck with a "power sensing" power strip? (brand and model please) Or, is there some other method I'm not thinking of? What I'd really like it a row of cool looking switches on the front of my 8600, that controlled outlets in the back of said Mac. I'm half tempted to find an 8600 case and mount switches on the front of the right hand panel, vertically. If anyone has modded their Mac (any model beige PCI) I'd like to hear about it and a pic would be cool as well. Nobody responded some time ago when I asked about sound out from my CD-Rom, CD-RW & Pioneer 105 into the motherboard. So, I'm thinking switches for that to switch to each CD unit. No modders on this list?
