Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955


I'm not sure if this post is in the correct topic, but the title says it all. I live in a house that was built back in 1955 and this house has very few grounded outlets. I use power strips throughout the home and have never had a problem occur.

I plan to upgrade one power strip and my question is if I use a power strip like this one

Would I have a wiring fault as the outlet is not grounded?

This power strip doesn't have a yellow light built in.

I'm not an expert in the field so that is why I'm asking.

My home was built in 54’. If you have conduit, have an electrician pull all new wire and grounded outlets. Mind you, the outlets must be to a grounded panel as well. 
I would do this if money allows. Should be about 5k. 

I had to work through that same problem being my house was also built in the 50’s.

I guess it is a common practice to replace two prong receptacles with three prong receptacles to increase the homes resale value. I was pretty pissed to find that out after purchasing my house that all the outlets other than the ones in my basement, bathroom, and kitchen were not properly grounded.

I hired an electrician and they ran ground lines for the outlets in my AV room it was only a couple of hundred dollars because the breaker box had already been upgraded.

It sounds like OP that you seem to have some concerns with the way you are solving your problem or you would not be here asking for our advice? Cheers

 

I'm just brainstorming ideas at this time.

Here is an ideal setup

playstation 1 with upscaler - 2 plugs

playstation 2 - 1 plug

playstation 3 - 1 plug

playstation 4 with vr - 2 plugs

playstation 5 - 1 plug

tv - 1 plug

dvr - 1 plug - 8 plugs total

or 

nintendo system with upscaler - 2 plugs

super nintendo with upscaler - 2 plugs

nintendo 64 with upscaler  - 2 plugs

nintendo gamecube - 1 plug

nintendo wii - 1 plug

nintendo wii u - 1 plug

nintendo switch - 1 plug

tv - 1 plug

dvr - 1 plug - 12 plugs

Not all device would be on at the same time.

More important than ground for safety is proper polarization. I remember the old days of finding the quietest orientation for each plug.  And shocking PA systems.
