Just by curiosity - what is it that you want to power outside of the cabinet? Or did I get this totally wrong?

We're not trying to power anything on the outside.  We're discussing different ways to cleanly power everything inside the cabinet instead of drilling a hole and having the cord from the power strip extend out.

Sounds like a good idea.   I would use an IEC receptical with a fuse holder for safety.  I would also add a switch SPST to the line so everything can be powered down without unpluging the cord.

Not to bust your chops, but that particular IEC at the link is for mounting in sheet metal. I would of bought one with a switch, but I wanted something "cheap and now". I don't think the fuse is necessary if you are using a smart strip, but I guess you can really never be TOO safe.
BobA:
You are right I should have looked closer.  This would be the ideal receptacle but of course price and speed does count when you want to get it done.
