On the same note as Jon, with the power also consider the wattage. This might be more suitable to a discussion about datacenters/cages but I figure it's warranted here as well.
Be away that you can't just stack power strips on one after another. I once did a cage layout and realized that we had plenty of outlets but that we only had 4 15amp circuits so while we had about 20 outlets we could only use 2 or 3 for each one b/c of the wattage limits. Just something else to remember... Stick On Wed, Mar 12, 2003 at 07:41:21PM -0500, Jon Carnes wrote: > The big thing to watch out for is power.
