MOTM

Ok, I know this was covered before, but I can't find my notes on it.  If I 
have a powerstrip with the usual three MOV's and a capacitor or two can I 
just cut everything out and be all set?  These components are situated on a 
circuit board inside the power rack in such a way that I really can't trace 
wiring.  Is it at all typical to run the ground through a capacitor so that I 
wouldn't want to cut it out?

I have one central Surgex unit which provides all of the (non-MOV) protection 
and filtering that I need, so I just want to convert all of my power racks 
and strips to being just switched sets of outlets.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance to all!
