A 12V, 1000A capacity, automotive battery most likely won't have trouble
shocking someone through the skin...
Speaking of 12V, I just had an idea... some preservation purists may
not like it, but I'm wondering it it might be worth considering: Since
most microcomputers and workstations typically use the same voltage
supplies, for those that do, how about using one very large power
supply to power everything, disabline the internal PSUs. Might this
not be more efficient for those that leave at least several computers
on at a time? The same for minis, only using bigger PSUs and perhaps
some overhead bus bars. :-) ...then just switch any fans over to
120VAC. Has anyone in this group tried this approach to PSU
consolidation?
