Step 2: Mount the Hardware
Power Strip:
I would recommend mounting your power strip first. Mount the power strip in a centralized location. I typically place it closer to the wall in the middle of the desk.
**Tip - Use a pencil and scrap paper to make a map (rubbing) of the mounting holes on your power strip. Then when placing the screws, screw them right through the paper into the desk. When you are finished placing the screws then rip the paper away.
Clips:
I like to place multiple clips around the power strip because this is going to be an area with lots of cables. Then place other clips where you need them.

I'd be a bit concerned about all my power plugs falling out every time the desk gets a knock, particularly the wallwarts.

I have been using this system for 4 - 5 years and I have never had one fall out yet. I have 4 similar setups throughout my home. A couple of them have wallwarts and again no problem. That may be credit to the APC strip b/c it has a tight fit system.

Fair enough, I stand corrected, and surprised!
