Those power centers used to be really common and I'm surprised you don't see more of them these days of always-on printers etc. and our eco-guilt. Probably what Maverick is talking about above, a pizza box with a row of illuminated switches that usually sat (and still sits in my case) under the monitor, sometimes even with a swivel base built in.
Exactly I never had one until about a year ago - found a NOS one in a Goodwill for a buck. It wasn't as "retro" as I would've liked, but it works great. (it has no green or orange power indicators, no toggle switches, just push white push switches in a white metal housing)
and Ole... those switches look cool. Has me idly wondering if it would be worth retrofitting mine! Laugh
