The earth is our limit. lol
For physical access, SW Michigan would be the preferred area (about 2
hours away from Chicago). But the Dallas, Texas area might be a
possibility as well. And we have used a Co-lo in California previously,
so obviously physical access is not a requirement. Remote KVMs work
great, it is only the hardware problems that are a little harder to
solve without physical access.

We have a power strip that can handle it no sweat. The question comes
in if their breaker that feeds our power strip is limited to 15A. And
they want $1100 to increase it/give us a 15A breaker separate from the
rest of the rack.

hehe... I think most of the U.S. has been feeling that lately, with
this heat wave. :-)
