Anyway, back to topic: Vendors, please a) get all your gear to cool front-to-back, and b) let it take 480 polyphase 
and not require a neutral. I, for one, will be happier. The datacenter of tomorrow (hell, today) require this.


People are still feeding their gear with AC?  Save on PS inefficiency,
and feed direct 12/5vDC to the servers.  Save space, save power,
save cooling.
