I work for a Gov't agency... we are REQUIRED to purchase off state
contract.  This leaves us with purchasing either a Sun rack starting at
$7,500 with no fans or going with a Compaq rack at $2,500 fully equiped
with glass doors and all.

I know... should be an easy decission, but I didn't want to place the
Sun's in the Compaq rack if anyone could think of some reason it may
harm them.  Just what I would need is to screw up to $75,000 servers.
