Just thought I'd share my find. Was going to buy a DJ Panel, but these were cheaper, and saves space too. I got the black color, but I think its out of stock for now.

Problem with those is how they are wired. DJ panels are FAR more robust and FAR less prone to catching on fire.

I've heard well over a dozen stories about multi-outlet strips burning house down. Not somethign you want to skimp on.
 
I could use that for computer and other devices so I can toggle the switch OFF indipendently on cell phone, ipod, laptop, etc ps/adapter when I'm done charging, instead of unplug the cables.
 
I do that with DJ panels. Every device (besides kitchen) is on a DJ panel. I shut them all off during storms as I get bad power surges.
 
They have better internal connections. Typically your normal "multi-outlet strip" is a two bus bars laid down across the outlet. DJ panels typically are spot welded for a better connection and use thicker bus bars. The bus bars can heat up, melt the plastic, connect together and start a fire.

DJ panels also have the outlet on the read and the button on the front. Makes for a cleaner look :)
