As a bit of caution, if your not comfortable working with electricity, DONT. You could easily shock yourself or start a fire if you wire this wrong.

Haha well, while I have done plenty of wiring for vehicles and houses I'm not sure if I would want to build one of those. Is there a good one I can buy? I don't mind spending the money
Something like

+ power strip? Not sure if it's a good brand or not

I've run a Finnex digital temp controller for a year now. Has worked well and is relatively cheap. Think this particular one can handle up to 800 watts. 
I run two heaters off the one Finnex using that white plug adapter that's toward the bottom of the picture. The only thing I wish was different with the Finnex is it would be nice if the temperature probe wire was a bit longer. I think it is 3'.
Thats a very similar unit. Most of the available units are not solid state. I will post a video of my build this coming week.
KingOf DIY/UrauJoey has a build for a unit rated to 1000watts using a stc-1000 that is essentially plug and play with multiple plugs built in. If memory serves me your trying to run 900watts of heat?

I would check out Joey's set up. Its fairly simple, cheap, and a great way to help make sure all your heaters run equally.
