Physical security is their problem; just make sure you point that out so you're not on the hook for it. The UPS is essential; power isn't terribly clean (from an IT perspective) where I work, and I'm not exactly in the backwoods of America. V> The room is not possible :|, that would have been great.

My only complaints about racks are too much server crowding and noise. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company Why Trick or Treating is Better than Sex #6: It's OK when the person you're with fantasizes you're someone else, because you are.
