Yup definitely waiting for your results before I decide anything!
I just wanted to plan ahead on whether I try to get a PSU and PDU in the states or I try to source one back home in NZ just unsure what the best plan would be.
If you need a PDU order it online. I owe phil for pointing me onto this. But you will find much nicer and lower priced PDU's on ebay they you normally will at local stores.
I got a PDU online and it was nicer then local stores had, and I paid much less with it being used. So far it's worked out great for me. If you need a PDU find a good deal online and order it. The PSU like you said we will know more on Tuesday when phil tries out his awesome PSU.
not only the pdu on ebay I got that 358 usd retail psu on ebay.
so I paid around 225-250 on ebay for about 600 in gear.
those pdu's were really good deal. 30 amps 240 volts built in over load fuses cheap.
If I really knew what I was doing I could access them from a smart phone to do a hard boot. from anywhere in the world.
this was the pdu seller

as for the meanwell psu. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MeanWell-Power-Supply-Rsp-1500-12-/191732204742? I offered him 110 he took it.
I ended up getting 1 of them. I wish I would have went with 2 I hesitated and thought start small.... I made a mistake.
That's one of my few regrets is I did not grab a 2nd one of those. Amazing PDU works perfect.
