no because all the power outputs are 12v dc, not ac what you want for a wall socket. are you planing on doing a pc grow?

iv done this with my pc box
u cut the plug off ur power strip
strip the wires
u open up ur power box in ur pc and u basicly connect the wires coming from the adapter for your input to the matching colours
chances are ull see a black and red wire in your pc case and your power strip mite be brown and blue if this is the case its black to brown and blue to red :D hope this helps
if your still struggling with it ill try sort out a pic of my wireing soon as possible
it mite sound complicated but its very very simple :) all u need to make sure is u use proper wire connecters because you dont wanna set your house on fire haha
