Piggyback Plug with Switch

Question

I'm looking for a product exactly like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Do-Best-Imports-RM-PT2162-15X-WH-Extension/dp/B000HEFDGU/ref=pd_cp_hi_0

However I need the plugs to be 3 prong instead of 2. I can't find anything like what I have in mind. Have you seen something along those lines or know where I should look? I'm trying to connect a switch to the power strip that's behind my stereo and tv. I've looked at Belkin's remote control power strips, but I'd really prefer a wired solution as I'm aiming more for reliability and low-cost. Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack

That is a good idea. Turning off the power to your electronics is a good way to save power. Most people don't realize how much power is wasted by unused electronics. Here are some web links that might have something that will work for you.
