Hello,
Instead of having the cable for my power strip sticking out if the cabinet, I wanted to add a plug on the back that I could just connect a normal PC power cord so I can use longer or shorter cords, and just look cleaner. But I can't find a plug and a faceplate to put on the back of the cabinet. I believe the inlet would be an IEC-320-C14. Could someone confirm this for me and perhaps suggest a US distributor?
My local electrical stores were unable to help.
Thank you,
-Patrick

Check Mouser.com and click the Catalog tab. Search function is useless.

Actually scratch that--search is only useful if you have a part number. :)
See if any of these fit the bill.

Wow, thanks. Now I just have to decide what will look best. So many options on how to control power on a cab.
Thanks again, especially for such a quick response.

No problem. A DIYer's two best friends: Mouser.com and Mcmaster.com

Do you have a junker old pc case to strip? I thought all of us had at least 4-5 of those sitting around? ;)

I got mine at Fry's. If you have one nearby, you can save the shipping. They were ~$4 as I recall. I think Mouser and Digikey charge more than that for shipping, so...
