Here’s a geeky desk sockets project from Luke. He writes:
I wanted a few more functions than just a desk USB Hub.
Looking on the net i came across this youtube video . This was the type of thing i was looking for but it had far too many functions and too large.
I decided to list the things i would like:1) USB Hub (powered)
2) SD card reader
3) Basic adjustable psu
4) Mains socket
I decided rather than making something scratch i would see if there was anything available i could just modify to fit all my criteria.

Great until firs short cut or energy surge. All connected burned :(
not if it is all connected to a surge protected outlet.
