Wiring a TV stand

[GetFrodo]

hey there everyone. newbie alert

I have just built a TV mount for my flat screen - pretty basic stuff, three planks on top of each other, vertically mounted on the wall, with the middle plank having most of its middle cut out to provide a channel for the cables.

I would like to hardwire all the devices (no room for normal sockets and switches), and was hoping to be able to find a nice, compact array of mains switches to wire up - all I have found is individual rocker switches which I know I won't be able to mount as neatly as a single unit, and it isn't immediately obvious to me how to split the input live/neutral/earth 5 or 6 ways neatly and safely).

What I want is:

4-6 individual power switches (tv, computer, ps3, wifi thingy, + pref. 2 spare)
1 override switch for the above group (so I can switch whole lot on or off with one switch)
1-2 individual power switches (hifi + pref. 1 spare) which should be independent of the override.

so what are my options?

thanks!

You could use small SPST or SPDT toggle switches mounted in a small electronics or utility box.

You would connect all the earth (green) connections together with a wire nut (and tie it to the box if the box is metalic). Tie all the neutral (white) connections together with a wire nut. Connect the live (black) connections through the switches as desired.
