Middle Atlantic DC Power Distribution Unit

I've been looking (and not finding) a good PDU to eliminate the many wall warts cluttering my rack and have effectively come up empty. I'll admit that there's probably stuff in the distributor channel that I don't know about (not being a distributor and all...) This was released at CEDIA and won a CE Pro award, but holy crap, US$700?? Right now, I'm leaning towards rolling my own 5v PDU with a powered USB hub and nice strong power supply. It's not the same, but will probably save me about $650.

If anyone knows of a good alternative, please let me know.

If you have 12V stuff, these CCTV Camera power supplies are readily available http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=1 ... 1&format=2

5V stuff seems to be a bit harder to find, but if that's all you have, you don't even have to make it as complicated as getting a powered hub with big power supply. Just get a big, multi-device charger like this: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-10-Port-Ch ... 1474563415

I'm all 5v right now, and the charger you linked to would be perfect. Add some shorty USB cables and that would do it. Thanks for the idea!
