The only "problem" with owning a 7000, maybe....... is that the power supply
requires up to 12 amps. (fully loaded on 110 volts) Since the normal
household circuit is only 15 amps - don't share this circuit with your
toaster!

vr.htm#33135
When I built my lab, the room has 5 circuits - 3 of which are dedicated 15
amps each (one outlet) to the router bank.
The 4000 is 3 amps and I think the 4500+ is 4.5 amps.
My Cat5000 power supply says 8 amps on it.
If you get dual power supplies - that's another matter. :-)
