Re: Spec for New V7R1 Development Machine/Remotely Racked

I've just always gotten one from TrippLite, but there are dozens available.

The IBM one is best of breed and most reliable. On my production box, I don't want anything else but for development, not needed.

At iDevCloud I don't think we have the monitor attached. The keyboard/mouse and sitting in the rack just to keep the HMC from complaining it does not have them. We get at the thing via browser and telnet. The only time you really need the monitor/mouse/keyboard is during HMC maintenance, upgrades and such.

Granted, Jim, but is there another rack-mounted unit with a foldout
monitor? This won't be set up locally, either. One of our folks saw the
7316-TF3 and said go for it - didn't want more clutter around the racks.

OK, I see a 1U unit from Dell - no price online, though. Maybe it's also
$4K - NOT!

Yep, turns out there are several - less than 2 grand - outright cost,
not lease, but usable repeatedly, eh?

Thx
