Sagging power cable at IEC outlet - any remedies?

My power amp has its IEC outlet going into the back flat, and every cord I have tried including the light stock cord sag from the cords weight behind the amp. So in all likelihood the connection isn't as strong as it should be. I know connection strength matters at the other end of the cord going in to the wall outlet, is it the same here?

For others suffering from this problem have you found a way to prevent the cord sagging out?

I prefer the little plastic tripod that comes in pizza boxes to prevent the top cover from touching the surface of the pie. Chop down the legs, and slide under. Cheap (free), efficient and unobtrusive without altering the PC. Of course, my IEC is near the bottom of the chassis - if you are up higher, I suppose the suggestion is moot. Good listening,

Richard , thats actually pretty funny and innovative, and Im not usually a worry wart when it comes to such things, however since it is right near the inlet , I would not want to use any material that is flammable.

Legos, I stacked a few under the cable to take the pressure off the connection to the amps. My kid has never missed them.

I measured and cut some wood blocks for under the connectors of my geat.

I also like the Lego idea!
