Careful with the low voltage distribution to avoid differences in
ground potential or ground loops.
Also, a lot of equipment is designed and tested to be safe with the
supplied power supply, a larger one may supply enough power to cause a
fire in case of a fault. There are shortcuts you can take during
safety certification whan you are using a limited source of power for
your product.
Don't think I want to warn you off this, it's a good idea in many
cases, and I've done the same, just wanted to remind you of potential
issues.

I have two full ones on my computer desk, and I'm trying to find room for a third strip. It's either that, or I need to build a 12V, 9V, and 5V distribution system to replace almost two dozen warts. I have another one behind the TV, and networking equipment in my bedroom. Who knew you would need over four dozen outlets in a 100 square foot room?

I second that. Just bought 3 of them a few weeks ago myself. Paid more than $15, though. Screwed them to the back of my (wooden) work bench. Room for a few more should the need arise....

Check out their four foot, 12 outlet power strips while you're there. They go on sale for $15 fairly often. I bought four more the last time. That makes about eight or nine of them, so far.
