I have a rack with basically my entire life in it and I want to add an outlet TO THE FRONT of it so i can plug in other things I need occasionally rather than having to try to reach behind the rack.  I really only want one or two outlets, but those actually seem to be less common than the rows of outlets.  I don't need any power conditioning as i'll be plugging it into my UPS within the rack.

The cheapest i found was this:

but I would love to know if there is a better one for my situation.

It must be true, I read it on the internet...

You already found the one I would've recommended.

 

Here's one that's marginally cheaper:

This one's almost 3x the price, but it has plugs on the front and the back:

Sticking a short 3-prong extension cord out the front of the rack could be a lot cheaper than any of these, too.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.
