[svlug] do you know of a local place that would have switching PDUs in stock?

[Luke S Crawford]

I have something of an emergency need for a rackmount switching/metering 
PDU (this means accessable via serial or ethernet)  It's kindof an emergency; 
 the one I'm using doesn't actually /meter/  even though you can login and
turn the outlets on and off.  It was used, so I should have 
tested it more thouroughly. But it's clearly wrong;  it claims 1.2 amps 
when I have 1 dual-socket (f) system (which should use more than that 
by itself, this is 120v power.) and two single-socket G34 systems 
attached along with a procurve switch and a cyclades serial console.  

The PDU needs to be 1u or 2u.  the '0u'  setups won't fit in the rack without
unracking 15 servers.  

Anyhow, I've got to buy one tomorow, which means I've got to find
a local retailer of rackmount hardware (and probably pay a nasty 
premium, but considering the alternative, I'm okay with that.) 

Tomorow, I'll be checking out HSC, weirdstuff, central computers, and 
I'm emailing kingstar systems tonight.  that's about the extent of 
my local hardware vendor knowledge.  I'm looking for other vendors of
rackmount/server stuff now.  

thanks.
