Best solution for charging PS3 and 360 controllers?

So I have a PS3 and a 360 Elite and 2 controllers for each and was looking for the best way to charge them.

I'm looking to charge the controllers independently of the consoles themselves, partly because I don't like the idea of having a bunch of unsightly cables all over the place as I've worked pretty hard to get my set-up nice and tidy and partly because I don't want to have to get up off my fat arse and fetch the controllers from the other side of the room

Preferably, I'd like something wall-mounted as the intended location is next to my sofa and I don't have/don't have room for a coffee table.
To give you a better idea of what I'm thinking, I was planning to try and put something in the corner of the room next to the window:

Unfortunately however, initial searches online don't seem to have thrown up a solution to my problem, hence my cry for help here.
Any help anyone can offer will, of course, be greatly appreciated

You can get chargers and batteries for the 360 pretty easily, like this one (although I presume you will want black)
Xbox 360 Quick Charge Kit - White (Xbox 360): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games

There are PS3 AC adpater chargers out there, this *might* work although I make no guarantees - Just plus a USB cable into it and your PS3 controlle rinto the other.
