Thanks for the URL. Have you ever seen a 3-prong AC adapter that attaches
permanently (serrated contacts on the female end) to a USA 3-prong AC power
plug and has a 'flip-up' ground pin. I've used it on 120 VAC power plugs
for temporary lighting, but no longer know of a source. Any ideas? The URL
you posted is quite useful, but does not seem to have that type of adapter.

The problem with the arrangement in the photo is that I have to glue
the brown octopus connectors to the power strip, or it will tend to
fall over. Xformers can only be installed in pairs. It works, but
isn't the greatest. Currently, I'm using several of those overpriced
flat two row power strips that are made to handle wall warts. The
density is about the same but the plugs are much easier to deal with.

Here's an easy way to do it:

I have used a "power control center" on every computer I've built.

With the little cords shown above they are very useful devices for turning
the power on only to the devices in use. They claim "surge suppession",
but I would not even consider them for that; the built in circuit breaker
might prevent a severe overload from tripping the mains breaker. They
make a good base to set the monitor on. :-)
