it safer to put in another line at maybe the same cost of what your tiring with less risk to your home if your box has the room .. if it doesn't that might become another issue at some point and buy a used PDU , but then again I'm not sure what you might call a lot of money for a PDU. I would plug the PDU direct into the wall they all come with long enough cords so you can pretty much set it up all most any place you want to and at no risk of extending some thing that is made to be plugged directly in to the wall with no in between. to me plugging a PDU into another plug just to use it, is like using a extension cord to plug in another extension cord for more plugs which can be very unsafe . but that's me . and PDU's do have extensions you can add on them that are safe but be care full not to over load one .
