Marc, a couple of hours ago I check for racks at Unix Surplus and they
don't seem to have any available right now.


(Is sudoroom.org down?
It is not loading right now. Hmmm...

Thank you Marc.

Hol, and Charley thank you for questions and interest.

I've not done the walk-through yet because of the somewhat restricted
access to the whole building, so no photos.

Here are other questions that I suggest we should look for their
answers also:

1.- Based on the current equipment and envisioning the future of
Sudo-SudoMesh(-Omni) what size room do we need?

2.- How is the potential room airflow?

3.- How is temperature of the room, now and during the Summer?

4.- Are there electrical outlets nearby?

5.- Do we have enough Amps in that area?

6.- If not, do we need to install a circuit breaker box with scalability?

7.-  Room's accessibility?

8.- Security: Who and when people have access to it when no Sudoers
are present?

9.- What type of racks, 2 or 4 of both size rack? or no this of rack?
Someone mentioned a wall mount rack in the open?

10.- If 2 or 4 post rack, should we get CAT6A ready? This means that
at least the backbone wiring, Patch panel, and connectors need to CAT6A.

Just these questions for now... but I encourage others to please
add/correct/comment/suggest as needed.

For those interested here is the link to the 'wish' list that I've
been working on:

Thank you,

Daniel
