Maybe, you could consider getting a UPS/AVR system to supply more
electrical connections. They got those too at TigerDirect. I got
everything running through it, including the wireless laptop when I bring
it to the little computer room. I got three surge protector strips with
equipment running off of them with slots for four more strips.

The battery on the UPS just went out I have had since 2001. Belkin gave
me an updated model (free) and all I had to do was pay shipping for the
return of the old unit.
