Sorry, I haven't been following this thread, but I have a fuse panel in my
car that sounds like what you guys are searching for:

I got it at West Marine, it's an older version of this product:
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/91545/0/0/fuse/All_2/mode+matchallpartial/0/0
I also saw this on thier site just now for half the price, and it's much
smaller:
http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/42603/0/0/fuse/All_2/mode+matchallpartial/0/0
Just search thier site for "fuse" and you'll get a bunch of hits, or check
out the following e-catelog page:
