Build Versus Buy Your Gadget “Gas Station” [Cord Management]

The Unclutterer blog points out a gorgeous, wall-mounted, fold-up gadget charging station that had us gripped with lust until we saw the price tag: a whopping $400. A commenter there pointed out that over at Ikea Hacker, a reader put together a wall-mounted gadget holder and charger by modifying a $43 wall cabinet. The DIY job isn’t quite as pretty as the $400 product, but folded up it looks just fine. Which do you prefer? Tell us in the comments. (For a hint at our vote, see how we modded a small nightstand to be a gadget charging station).
