Does anyone know of any 3-prong power cords that can be daisy-chained for a tri-monitor setup? Kind of like the Samsung SyncMaster MD230X2 setup has, where all monitors (6 of them) connect to 1 power cord.  Those extra wires you see are just the displayport cables, there's only 1 power cable for all 6. Going to be moving things around, and would like to remove two of the three 15' A/C cords I currently have. Thanks!

I've never seen a 1x3 splitter, but 1x2s exist and you could make daisy chain them for a 1x3. Amazon link $11.11  Pair it with this: Amazon link $13.21  Have one of the splits go to your middle monitor, then daisy chain the extension and send them to the two outer monitors. Throw on some cable ties to tidy it up and voila. I'm sure there are cheaper solutions too if you look around a little. Those were the first ones I came across for demonstration purposes.

Excellent! And because you linked to two parts that had the plug's descriptions, that helped me find a 3-way splitter version! Correction in your post though. You linked to a C20 splitter. It's actually a C13 (Female) and C14 (Male). So, a very quick Bing search for "15P to 3x C13" brought up a whole slew of sites. And several of them have 3-way splitters. Whoohoo! http://www.infinitecables.com/usa/power_splitter-cords.html Though, for the middle monitor, that means that cord would be curled up/too long. Humm, thinking about making one myself now (ordering open-screw versions of 3x C13 and 1x C14). I have some 15AMP a/c wiring from a previous project.

You could always get the 1x3 then cut and splice the middle cord yourself for the proper length. Put some heat shrink around it and it will still look professional. It's nice to know the 1x3 exists if I ever go tri-monitor.
