Finally found the link to the Sears power strip that I used. It's more of a power "block" the kind that is supposed to plug straight into the wall. All I did was use a regular power strip internally, and it's cable is what plugs into the wall, and the Sears "block" just plugs into my strip.

Call your local Sears to see if they have it, or you can order it online as well.

The sears strip looks nice, but it seems you only get 2 switched outlets! The Smartstrip gives you 6, plus 3 always-on outlets! Obviously, you could plug a standard power strip into one or both of the sears outlets, but that's ultimately messier that the smartstrip solution. By the way, I finally ordered a smartstrip yesterday around 11:00 AM and it showed up at my job today around 12:00!!! Granted, I live in NY maybe about 4 hours from Bits Ltd, but still, that's awesome for free shipping!!!!

I'm not saying the Sears one is better or worse than the SmartStrip. It's just another option. It's the option that I went with, and therefore the only one that I'm familiar with first hand.
But sure, you can "daisy-chain" other strips on the Sears strip. Like what I did with plugging the Sears into another powerstrip, so I have several "always-on" outlets from the normal strip, then I have the functionality of the Switched outlets.
