IT-type question

[Drew Van Zandt]

Would you guys mind sharing your opinions on something IT-related with
me?  You guys are pretty experienced in the field and I suspect you
have strong opinions.  Here's the decision under consideration:

New product, rackmount, 24 ports (or so) of Sensatronics
temperature/humidity/etc.  monitoring. (Network-based and works with
Linux, of course - all our stuff does.)

1U or 2U?  We're leaning towards 2U because it lets us be more
flexible, but would you have specific objections to something 2U?

What would you be most interested in monitoring other than
temperature/humidity/wetness?

What other cool/useful features would you like?

If you're in the Concord or Manchester area and work for a colo
facility or somewhere with LOTS of rackmount stuff, email me offlist
and maybe I can get my boss to buy you lunch so he can get your
opinions on some things.
