Old school tech: What were those short wide beige boxes with amber lit power switches on them called?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

i have one sitting on my desk to make my monitor higher.
it is a Memorex Power Center.
they are normally called power strips or power centers, or even surge protectors... and they work like a normal power strip does, but they sit out of the way under a monitor.
they are still around, but look much sleeker now.
here's a link to several that Amazon.com has:

this one is an example of one with a built in surge protector... however, i'd still have a battery backup/surge as well rather than relying on one of these.
