I see only one plug, in the picture. The black plug, to the left. I do see
two white sockets. For me, an outlet strip works fine. One plug, four
sockets.

news If you're thinking about adding a power outlet to your desk or
workspace but you don't want to just slap in a power strip, you could
do worse than this DIY desktop outlet. Instructables user dlewisa was
looking for a sleek, space-saving power option for his desk, so he
decided to build his own.

Dlewisa essentially went to the hardware store and got the components
to make a wall outlet (with an eight foot extension cord) and went to
work. He also glued together a simple wood housing for the outlet so
he could use it safely without risk of fire or electrocution, sanded
it down, and painted it so it would look good on top of a desk or
cabinet. Hit the link below for the full step-by-step, including the
parts required and how to assemble them. If you're feeling really
adventurous, you could slap in something like these previously
mentioned USB outlet covers so you can power gadgets and charge your
devices at the same time.

We know a simple power strip would accomplish the same goal here, but
dlewisa explains why he went the DIY route over just buying a
ready-made product at the Instructables link below. Besides, we have
to agree: the end product looks great, suits his needs, and would look
even better embedded into a desk surface, kind of like this
retractable in-desk power strip.
