How many outlets does your tank use?

[fritz]

I seem to be fighting a never ending battle with my entertainment center over spare outlets. I'm always trying to think of ways to use less electricty but I seem to need more and more outlets which got me wondering....

How many outlets does your tank use?

 

[tomzpc]

Are we talking wall outlets or are you including each plug on a power strip as an outlet?


edited to say...never mind....based on the choices in the poll I think it's safe to say number of total plugged outlets.

Except maybe in Cali's case

Hmmm, maybe if it's greater then 10 people should list them out like you did so others can see what they're missing.
