    Personal (10-12U) racks? Also, server question

    Thanks for the link; the middle atlantic stuff looks like it will work well.

    what if power and data were on the same cable?

    It's probably like USB, where it provides _some_ power, but not enough to actually power a modern hard drive. Maybe you can do compact flash readers with it or something. For the record, USB provides 500mA. Not a lot, but it should be enough to charge things.

    [DEAD DEAL] Dell 2001FP 20" LCD for $749 no rebates - NOT 2000FP

    Just a quick note here, if you plan on running dual with the 2001fp it would be best to get a 1703 instead of an 1800. The reason is the pixel pitches on the 2001 and 1703 are almost identical, i.e. they will match for font sizes etc a bit better than having the 1800. Also, on the dual monitor...
