Power Center: Is this good

[rookie07]

I am looking to get 2 power centers, 1 for each tank.
I want at east 8 individually controlled outlets. I am tired of unplugging my pump/skimmer and trying to find the cords and plug them back in every time I feed. I want to be abler to just flip a switch or two and shut down whatever outlet I want.

This is the best I could find (It is for a DJ, but does it matter). I know it is not a GFCI, but since this is thing is not near water I do not think it matters.

What do you think of this unit?

Here is a 9 outlet unit...but I do not need more room, and I prefer the "Red light" switches over the "blue light" switches

Anyone have a better idea? Post a link

I have been using the American DJ unit for a better part of 2 years.

I never actually utilized all 8 outlets but it managed all of the following for me.

-Return pump
- Skimmer pump
- ATO
- couple of vortechs
- Chiller pump

With no problem. I found the lighted Red buttons pretty helpful when kept under the cabinet.

Duke: I appreciate the offer, but for $30 I would rather just buy it new and not worry about any issues. Did you happen to have a frag in mind? Ill just give it to you.

DReefer13: Thanks, exactly what I wanted to hear.

Win: Thanks....next time just "edit" your first post and add your additional comments, no need to have 2 post (I don't really care, just letting you know for the future)

I went with these guys: http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=32820
I bought the DJ system but it weighs 4lbs and its difficult to mount inside the stand. The one's that I linked can be mounted from the back like any other surge protector. The only down side is that they're back ordered with a ship date of 12/15.
