Okay...

I'm only listing computer components - not any of that 'portable phone' or 'cd player' stuff just because they happen to run behind my computer...

power to UPS
power from comp to UPS
power from monitor to UPS
power from scanner to UPS
power from printer to UPS
power from speaker set 1 to UPS
power from speaker set 2 to UPS
USB from comp to printer
USB from scanner to printer

sub2 to speaker 3

Okay, not that many (compared to others). I'm moving next week and I am not looking forward to untangling everything, moving it all, and then putting it all back together. Day after I move comes the cable to NIC connection - that would make the grand total 20.
