I need a mains block for my router, switches, BT box etc. Not looking to spend a fortune but wanting a solid well engineered block to replace the current cheapo one.
Any suggestions?

I must admit I use a simple Russ Andrews 4 way power block to power my network bits located in my office.
Take a look at Olson if you want a customisable and well built UK made block (if RA doesn’t have any Summer discount offers on).

I use an extra wiremold strip that previously powered my hifi before getting an ultra HBL strip.

I use the CS947 Tacima 6 Way Mains Conditioner with Surge Protection nice for nas drives and routers… I not suggesting you hang your main hifi of this…there are a number of very good solutions for this like the Wireworld Units etc…but for TV’s and other light peripherals its great.

Perfect thank you 
I once had one. Totally inaudible, and I mean it as praise.

discontinued model?
Available in Sweden and Germany at least.
Graham’s Hydra. Simple.
Audiophily, but not silly.

Unnecessary plastic look but well built/good components. Got two for my system.
Despite a great suggestion from @Skeptikal to make my own, I’m far too busy (lazy)!
I found this ‘audiophile’ block on a certain auction site. Looks like it’s a guy who makes them from home. I didn’t want to spend a fortune as it’s only for BT box and switches and I needed 4m so I think it fits the bill.

I used something similar for quite a long time the first thing I did was take out the neon 
I did various mods and tidy wiring but eventually opened the whole device up and didn’t like the quality of the internals certainly not for my main system so I made my own double pair unswitched.
That looks much easier than what I had in mind.
I’m not much of a DIYer with audio gear, but have ordered an aluminium box from China and a bunch of plugs to make an unswitched one. It seemed cheap enough until I decided I needed a solder station to make it. Now I’ll need to find more projects within my capability to justify the tools.
My last decision to make is wiring. 2.5 or 4mm2, solid or stranded, silver-coated or standard copper? I expect opinion will be divided, as to how much difference any of that would make.
