A1200 Additional power via floppy connector

Would it not be more prudent to get (or construct) an external box of some kind to house all these extra devices and have them powered from an independent supply?

Im trying to arrange for everything to be powered from the same source - Its much neater, more efficient on sockets, and reduces the risk of devices being blown up at power on if devices arn't powered up in the correct sequence.

It might be neater and more efficient but after reading the above edit, my first thought was 'if one goes bang, they'll all go bang'

I'd rather use 8-way extension sockets ...
