Come on, a couple of 30a circuits and a dedicated
Leibert cooling system for
the 4000btu's of heat they put out, not a problem ;-)
Actually I was talking about what it would take to get repair parts, I wouldn't want
to be running one that wasn't on a maintenance contract (and those cost a fortune). I
wasn't even taking into consideration the power and cooling requirements, OR the cost
of software licensing.
