I forget the name of the company that made them, but when I was doing remolding on homes we used a system that was surface mounted. It had boxes just the depth of the receptacle and switches - about 1" or 1 1/4" thick. I still see them at electrical supply stores and Home Depot or Loew's. Just ask for 'surface mount'.
