While I totally agree. This is ultimately the same as daisy chaining and will still give you some noise. I would like to point out that it isn't "way cheaper"
Here is a one spot kit for 28 bucks https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000RNB720/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467162959&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=one+spot+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=512O0YtGQRL&ref=plSrch
Here is the agptek for 36 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HH62VB6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467163002&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=agptek+power+supply&dpPl=1&dpID=51S%2BfzRko%2BL&ref=plSrch
For an additional 8 bucks you get the added benefit of a 12 and 18 volt power supply in a not convenient package.
I got one of them, knowing it was not isolated, to clean up my board. It is way easier to keep tidy with this then the one spot. Especially of you aren't using all of the plugs.
I would do more research and find out if you really need an isolated power supply. You should be fine with a one spot or cheap power supply. The amount of noise that will be reduced with an isolated power supply will not be that great. I know people on here rave about them, but I honestly don't notice a huge difference. I have a lot of pedals and have tried the Walrus Phoenix and Voodoo Lab PP+ and I returned them both. The best thing I have found for killing noise is using the Zoom MS-50G's ZNR noise canceller effect. The pedal is only $100 and it took away a lot more noise than the isolated power supplys that cost $180-$280. You also get 100+ effects. Just add an MS-50G to your board and get a cheap power supply like this: https://www.amazon.com/AGPtek-Isolated-Cricuit-Overcurrent-Protection/dp/B00HH62VB6/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506038976&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=guiatrt+power+supply
I have this one it works pretty well but its not isolated like it says. But it powers my pedals and there isnt any extra noise.
Something to consider, is if you're going to be transporting this pedalboard around a lot. I have a Stealth from BlackBird that I got for around $20, but the carrying case they have displayed didn't come with it so transporting it around is a bit of a hassle.
If you're looking for cheap though I'd recommend the Stealth if you can find one.
My powersupply is an AgPtek which is doing a pretty solid job so far. I didn't want a tangled mess of a daisy chain to power the board so this takes care of that problem.
I also purchased some 3M velcro to stick everything to the pedalboard. I have a couple lines of it on top and on the back of my pedals so they stay and I can move them around in a loop, and I've used it to attach my power supply to the underside.
Or if you want something that will work just as good, you could find a slab of wood and use some velcro on it.
Yeah, all of the Chinese PSU's aren't isolated but claim to be
