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 http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=thenighttech&ftab=AllFeedback

he sold me 2 of these for http://www.ebay.com/itm/Server-Technologies-Sentry-Switched-Cabinet-Distribution-Unit-PDU-CDU-CX-8H2C211-/140824045552?

45.00 bucks! one of the best purchases I have ever made on ebay. I turned notlist3d on to them he got 2? can't remember.

as for the meanwell psu. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MeanWell-Power-Supply-Rsp-1500-12-/191732204742? I offered him 110 he took it.

That looks like a couple amazing scores! My problem is location aka being at the bottom of the world shipping is often more than the part I want to buy off ebay haha

New Zealand and Australia are the top of the world USA Canada Europe are the bottom. Grin

I figure why not look at it that way.
