I ordered this wall outlet to install in the outlet next to my desk: http://store.fastmac.com/product_inf...roducts_id=458

Unfortunately the single gang box in the wall next to my desk chair, isn't deep enough for it to fit - this outlet requires a deeper box. My house is older and has shallower boxes. It fits in the newer boxes I installed when I wired the garage and basement, but that's not where I need it. So it is sitting on the shelf until such time as I do a big remodel project that includes wiring improvements for my home office.

If your house is newer and has more modern boxes, perhaps you can install this in the bedroom.
