Was tired of having numerous lines coming from the mount dragging on the floor over to my computer.  So decided to put everything at the pier and have one USB cable running back to the computer.  This has been used now for months and months and works great.

Also being used  are 2 Pyramid 25amp 6-15 volts ( adjustable) power supplies.  Was using one then decided to put the mount on one and the dew heaters on the other.  No way that either will not get enough power now.

Control area at the scope now.  Three power strips, Two Pyramid 25amp units, one Edgeport/4 (giveing me 4 serial ports) one D-Link USB 2.0 (giving me 7 USB 2.0  ports),  and yes the water cooling set-up too

Left side of Pier
USB 2.0 Hub,  connected here are the SBIG 10xe /  SBIG 402Xme / FLI DF-2/  FLI CFW-2/  Serial hub has a USB line running from it to this USB hub.  Then from this hub I have one Blue USB 2.0 line running to my computer
whole thing again
Up close of the Pyramid PS-26KX   I have changed out the lighter plug the AP mount comes with to self locking Banana plugs.    The Kendrick Dew Heater still has its lighter plug since there is a fuse in it and I have not gotten to the store yet for a holder for the fuse to turn this also into strictly Banana Plugs too
This is what this whole command center gives life to
