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.
Actually, I keep threatening to just inlet the desktop itself. :)

I have one of those industrial type aluminum grounded 6' long multiple
120vac outlets screwed to the side of one of my L shaped computer desks in
the basement where some of my equipment is plugged into. I have a 12' one I
haven't installed yet (was going to run it along the back wall in the
basement). I have the surge strips I was talking about plugged into them
along with other gear. I have over a dozen machines and assorted gear
connected and setup to run with the flick of a switch.
