    Dimmer switch? plus a few other rack questions

    I am about to start construction on my snake rack and I need to get several dimmer switches for my heating tape. I just called home depot and they only seem to carry in wall dimmer switches.

    I am currently using this: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2752611

    I know it is over priced and I plan on exchanging it, and I've heard people here talk about getting dimmer switches from places like home depot for like $10. Can anyone link the exact item they have used or seen used? I plan on getting a real proportional thermostat in the future but until then I need to use a cheaper option.

    Also, what type of screws should I be using for melamine? And any specific type of casters for a 4ft tall melamine rack?

    *edit*
    I think I found what I am looking for: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...-WH&lpage=none

    That look right? Can I hook up say two heat tapes to an extension cord and plug it in to that (assuming I don't go over wattage) or would I need one for each heat strip?

    thanks again, this forum is beyond useful
