Well a box with a number of thight slot per XO and power connector in the back in the slot in exact the right place would create a "masscharger". Drilling a hole over the length of the box throuth the space of the handgrip holes , would gave space to a metal bar. A lock througth the metal bar would lock all XO's in one time. Optionally replace all powersupplies for one "mass-power-supply". 2ct, Marten > > > However, since arriving here I have literally spent a few hours > scouring the internet for this resource and I am beginning to think > that I imagined it. > > > I did manage to find Ram's plan's for OLE Nepal's cabinets, but we > have different requirements. > > > Charging Laptops, not Electrocuting Kids: The XO Charging > Rack: http://blog.olenepal.org/index.php/archives/254 > > > > I believe that Nepal is a predominately Buddhist country.
