Before rackmounting our Sportsters we used homemade strips. We used 10 of
the plastic AC single outlet boxes from a hardware store and secure them
together on their long sides. Connect the outlets together and connect a
pigtail at one end. This will allow 20 of the wall-warts to be plugged in
using only one outlet on a UPS.
