nice i will do the same once i get a case

And probably better for the life of the power brick as you aren't pulling it out of sockets all the time...

A great idea, one of those 'why didn't I think of that' moments.

so true haha i've been fighting with my power strips and never thought of that :| shame on me.

Nice one pare

wicked!

thanks for that i was wondering if that could be done

Very inexpensive figure 8 cables that should fit the wall wart ranging from $0.83 for a 3ft to $2.30 for a 15ft cable.

Son of A...... Didnt even think to check their. I just ordered a large order and got over night shipping..... Well I guess $3 shipped still isnt bad for a cable

Caught Ya!!!! Where's that video???? C'mon son!!!

Caught me what?? Haha!! Ive explained in the thread it all kicked off in!!!

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude! You Sir are a freakin' LEGEND for starting this thread! :) I just got mine today & was playing around with the cabling of all my stuff, trying to be as efficient & neat as it could be and that damn power pack was REALLY pissing me off.. no configuration of plugs on a 4-outlet powerboard - no matter what - would fit without losing one of the spots or needing to add another double-adaptor (Australia has enough fire as it is, thanks Pioneer! lol) . Then I thought about using one of the figure 8 power cords I had laying around but wasn't too confident about plugging it in to my brand new machine - but did it anyway, totally shitting myself it would go BOOOM! (not the good, bass kind) & everything seemed fine. I then unplugged it & thought I better ask an expert about this sort of thing, so of to Mr. Google, The Wise Old Search Engine, & he took me here, where you have allayed my fears. Kudos to you once again dude - I'm sure every owner will ditch the plug & use a figure 8 inplace..

My SX won't power on half the time when i am using a figure 8 cable.

Maybe it's a bad cable?

No issue on mine since and the cable I use is very old.

I actually saw the Youtube video back in January when I received my SX, the powercord idea was a pretty cleaver thing. Glad someone out there is thinking!!!! :)

lol yep, glad someone is haha I for one would be fucked if there wasn't ;)

I should have kept it a secret and made money of it! LOL j/k

There are other products out there for wall warts that you cannot remove the power prongs.

Like
www.zzounds.com

or buy a 1ft extension cord.

Yep, it was the cable. The metal prongs in the figure 8 end did not come all the way to the end of the plug.
