[Recommendations] Powerboard for Gaming Desktop Setup

Per title, looking for the above.

Looking for one with at least 8 outlets.
Preferable one with USB outlets and quick charge.
One that will protect the computer and electricals in the case of blackouts etc.
The less bulky the better.

One that doesn't burn the house down.

      There must be Razer Chroma model with per-socket RGB configured via Razer Synapse.

  • How often do woolies/coles/Kmart etc powerboards burn houses?

      Nice :)
      I got the Belkin 8 outlet on a price beat from Bunnings (beating MSY) but was still ~$47

    • Does the USB ports support quick charge? I read somewhere here on a previous deal that it doesn't.

        I doubt it
        If you want quick charge
        Buy a quick charge charger?

      • Good luck, and as above, not really essential.

  • Some type of Belkin powerboats has connected equipment warranty in case your equipment fired up.

  • On different issue, if your power supply have burning smell and you continue using it until it's.. don't know what it will do, does the power stopped at power board (it's $30+ power board thus not those economical ones) or it will kill the entire house electricity?

  • After doing a bit of research on all the appropriate specs I came to the conclusion that Thor are the best powerboards you can buy in Australia.
