I agree that modifying one is much different than repairing one, but in
this case it would still be much safer than overloading the existing
wiring and connectors. Adding more would be safer as long as you did
not add so much that you overload the capacity of the power supply.
Also, most power supplies have built in fusing that will blow if
overloaded before burning anything up.


I have to agree 100%. But from an insurance claim standpoint, they can say
you modified it, and with the plug in Y-splitters, at least you can blame the
manufactures of those things. Good luck finding who they are of course.

A good analogy is the overloaded wall socket. It would be a bad idea to
change out the socket for a larger multiple socket, and NOT upgrade the wire,
but if you overload it with extension cords, heaters, etc... Either way you're
risking chaos.
