Hi Mark, I get 18" power cords to replace the real longs ones that come with my gear to clean up the rats nest inside the racks. As for the wall warts, I use a rack mounted powerstrip by isobar that is fairly skinny. I usually mount it in the back of my rack so that it doesn't take up a valuable space up front. Then I get the zip ties and after plugging in a wall wart, I put a zip tie around it and the powerstrip so that it is locked in place. I also use shorter zip ties for tying back all the cableing (midi, power, audio) to keep it clean and everything inside accessible. The nice thing about the zip ties is that if the ones you have aren't long enough, you can combine them to make them almost any length you want. M.
