Subject: Re: Workstation Power Cord
Oh, I forgot - might want to try Rick@nationwide surplus, he's downtown
off 7th ave and van buren, and he has a lot of this stuff as a big
e-recycler. I get odds and ends from him occasionally, and he sells on
ebay under the same name, and he deals with server/network hardware.

Rick Krug

602.253.0400

FYI, i run a 1200w power supply on a pretty standard 14ga c13 connector
and not burned down my house yet. Might see if there's an adapter to
save you some grief - monoprice.com might.
