Thank you for the input. I am kind of partial to the dell power edge series myself. Sounds like that would be the best option going forward.

Also aim for Gold or Platinum (preferably Platinum) efficiency PSUs where possible. Taking into account the wattage of the PSU and the hardware's requirements and also considering whether the PSU will be upgraded for future hardware growth.

The higher efficiency hardware will mean that it will use less power when in operation.

The efficiency ratings range from No Rating (or a minimum of Bronze) up to a rating of Platinum (the highest).
