I don't know of anything prewired that will give you 8 switches controlling
8 receptacles. The easiest way I can think of is to gang two sets of 8
switch boxes together and mount one set low for the receptacles and one set
high for the switches. You will need to special order 8 gang wall plates
from an electrical supply house for the switches and outlets.
