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. :)

One very nice thing about the Sprint adapter is that it has an
actual
cord & plug between PSU and outlet. I guess that makes it a
floor-wart. :) Half the jacks in my power strips are wasted because
the wall-warts take up 3 slots. I think I'll solder cords on all of
'em.
Easier just to buy the newer power strips that have 2 rows of jacks,
second
row spaced and directed for wallwarts. Wallmarts has then fairly cheap.
