I have to take issue with the PDUs being required, as they're not really
especially for a stand-alone low-end 520. Sure they make for a nicer rack
and can help if you add on an external DASD storage unit or UPS, but you can
easily get by without them, especially if you're on a tight budget where
everything is scrutinized.
