That's an awesome idea. I was actually looking for something similar... a long time ago, folks would use these power switch boxes for their computers, where they would plug the computer, monitor, printer etc in the back, and in front there were those lit switches, and the monitor would sit on top. We had a bunch of them at work, unfortunately, when I asked, they had just a week or two prior thrown them away as being obsolete.

But this powerstrip is actually nicer, takes up less space, and it all fits in there. Plus the outlets are spaced for some of the bricks that are used with nightlights and such.

Great design! Sorry to hear about the relays, I had a similar issue where two of the four that I used were DOA. Probably a good idea to test them before soldering.
