Doh, mine's a 250V with a different style of plug.   :laugh2:

Well look at that, perfect!

CWorley:
If I already have the power jack (without fuse), is there a way to work a fuse into the equations?  I know almost nothing about this stuff.

What something like this work?

Like elkemeleon mentioned earlier, I'm planning on plugging a smart strip into the installed outlet.

An even finer idea, cut the female end off a heavy duty grounded extension cord, wire that to the IEC terminals, then plug your unharmed smart strip into that. Minds BLOWN!

Holy. Bananas.  Care to post a link to a "heavy duty grounded extension cord" that would be suitable?  Something with three heads - for computer/monitor/speakers.

EDIT: Will THIS work?  I'd gladly pay the $12 to save me from doing major wiring.  I assume you cut the head with the prongs off and wire that directly to the power receptacle and then just plug everything in and you will be good to go, right?
