Looking for a powerstrip or power director that I can place my monitoir on that has power buttons for my printer, monitor, computer, router, etc.. Any suggestions?

These are real handy and eventually going to get one myself, here is a link with something I believe you are referring to

Under Monitor Surge Protector/Suppressor
Amazon.com: Tripp Lite TMC-6 Protect It! Under Monitor Surge Protector/Suppressor w/ Modem/Fax 6 outlets 6ft Cord 1850 Joules: Electronics

Glad you got it and will get one myself eventually
