   Nah, I've been meaning to get down to the hardware store and build a
power strip. You can get the aluminum channel and top plates with
variously spaced knockouts for standard wall-mount sockets. Add the
heavy-duty extension cord that got mowed last fall and a few sockets
and you've got a sweet grounded PDU running along the back of your
bench.
