Secondly "<b>Fully functional 120/240v AC outlets!</b>" Good! I know if I tried to plug something into it and didn't get juice I'd tell the boss to toss it in the recycle bin. Third, looking at the specs it's probably better than most office comps. Firstly, we found a new powerstrip in my house that nobody remembers buying, so now I have a case of the paranoia.

Just another $1,300 power strip, guaranteed not to raise eyebrows on a DoD or corporate invoice!

Can you control the power? Is there a mic or camera so you can spy on people? *reads TFA* Oh, I get it. A stealthy wifi/bluetooth bug with some cool ways of remotely accessing it. Nice!
