I knew that'd get a response.  Smiley

I'm hoping to look into moving to the Quincy datacenter later...it's the production center that hosts almost everything for Microsoft and other big sites in WA.  It's powered by it's very own water dam turbine, lol.

We maxed out the city's electrical infrastructure where we are...so we're only allowed 25A per rack because if we don't keep it down we'll suck up too much juice.  Sad
