BITS Smart Strip Power Strip
10 outlet Smart Strip Power Strip switches your devices on and off automatically — saving you money on your electric bills. Three of the outlets always have power for devices that should never turn off (like a VCR). The others work in sync according to demand. In other words, you can plug your computer or tv into the main outlet, and its peripherals will turn off and on automatically according to its use.
