Power Strip- Smart Strip LCG4

So I have been discussing the Phantom Power idea and one way to decrease the ability of items in your house of always drawing power is to put them on a power strip. The hard thing is my power strips are difficult to get to and cause me to contort in uncomfortable ways.

I think I have the solution!

I have found the Smart Strip LCG4 which can be found at: http://www.smarthomeusa.com/Shop/Bits-Ltd./Item/LCG4/

All you do is plug your main computer into the control plug and all of the peripheral devices the computer uses into the spare plugs. (my computer has 5 other power sucking items-go PC!) Now, when you turn off the main computer, all the other ones will turn off with it. No need to have an ugly power strip in plain site and no need to hurt yourself (Chiropractors are expensive). The makers seem to claim that it will pay for itself in 6 weeks. That remains to be seen, but I love the idea!
