Has anyone found a recessed "quickport" style 2 gang wall plate? I have done a bit of searching and it seems the only recessed 2 gang wall plates are the kind where there is just a hole in the plate and wires come out of it.. I am looking for a more organized, yet recessed solution.. Anyone stumble across that yet?

This is a normal box, but you could use a quickport plate on it.

If you only needed 6 ports and an electric plug, then something like this would work too.

I just bought a recessed duplex 15A outlet plus 6 quickport at Home Depot a few days ago.

That arlington might be just what I need. Can you use the standard quickports plates? Or do I need to buy decora quickplate inserts with that box?

I believe I used standard quickport plates. Mostly a bit paranoid as I had never used a "combo" electric box like this but wanted a small unseen footprint behind the LCD.
I am curious on the depth of the Leviton box. The Arlington box has the electrical side of it angled so that the boxes depth is shallow.
It makes it a bit more difficult to work with though.

The leviton box is also angled on one side. I used the angled side for the outlet side of the plate giving me more room for the LV cabling.
The gray box is almost exactly 3.5 inches deep. Also, the box is not old work, no tabs. It must be cut in right next to a stud. It comes with 2 screws and 2 places inside the box to screw the box against the stud.
I have mine installed into a 2X3 wall with plasterboard as the wall material and it just barely passes the back edge of the stud(2X3) with the front edge being flush with the exposed wall. Fortunately the other side was a utility/well closet with no back wall to deal with. It made installing it and cabling it a breeze.
