If someone is doing this, especially wrt to 1U servers, perhaps someone could provide a pointer to a reboot solution that would allow a single reboot device to control 42+ 1Us in a single rack. From my occasional interest in this area, I've seen lots of reboot solutions. Most of them take as many as 4-10 U to reboot 40 machines, which sort of obviates the need to reboot 40 machines in a single rack in the first place. Unless you use 10ft racks, I guess.
You could do this with a combination of two vertically mounted BayTech RPC27[1] units per rack, and one Cisco 3640 w/ 3 * NM-32A and 1 * NM-1E2W's (and the appropriate octal -> RJ45 serial cables and DCE headshells) split between two racks. This would provide you with effectively 44 serial console ports (not counting the 2 per rack burned on the BayTech units) and 42 remotely controllable outlets at a space penalty of only 1U per rack. I'm doing something similar right now... -a [1] <http://www.baytechdcd.com/cgi-private/prodlist?show=RPC27>
