Solid double stick mounting tape should work.

If you use short screws the top layer would be thick enough to secure it, however another option you can use some double sided mounting tape.

if you looked at the surge protector, its quite heavy duty. i thought of that,but didnt think that tape could do it

Double sided tape is really that strong?

More than enough if you use the right stuff, you can also get 3M Dual lock which is basically velcro on steroids if you want it removable.

with that extreme tape, if i put it around the perimeter of the surge protector, do you think that it would be a solid "fit". I'm not sure if fit is the right word... would it be wobbly or solid?

Two strips at the ends and maybe an extra one in the middle will be more than enough, you don't need much, you'll have trouble removing it more than anything else. You just need to make sure all surfaces are clean and free of dust.

This or the 3M version of it is more than strong enough (most are usually around 10lbs of support, but they vary). They're usually wrapped in red, but it's a clearish-colored double sided adhesive. I have my power bar mounted with it on the back portion of my desk with about 7 power connectors right now. I only used two strips of it, basically matching where the plugs are.
