    I want to have a standard outlet available inside a sliding drawer. 
I'd like to have it securely-mounted, so a standard power strip won't 
really work.  Ones with mounting tabs are, as far as I can tell, 
exclusively four or more plugs, which is way more than I need, and takes 
up space.

    The DIY design is a fall-back, but like I said, going to be big and 
bulky compared to what I need... which is just a mounting face on the 
female end of a short extension cord.

    Thanks.
