[SAC] Power Supply for OSGeo4

I'm not saying we should replace the dead redundant power supply on
osgeo4. But if we do, looks like it's not terribly expensive.

This should get rolled into our discussions of where to go next. If we
decide to split things into smaller more isolated VMs, new hardware that
fits that model seems a better deal.

Thanks,
Alex

But I do :slight_smile:
We all know how long it takes to get things migrated properly and if
the second PSU dies within a few weeks, then we're without Mail and
Projects VM. Therefore I'm strongly in favour of getting a
replacement.

+1 if that matters,

Sounds like no objections and lots of +1. At $100 seems worth it.

Quick count for this year:
$65.00 1x hard drives
$154.77 2x hard drives (1 spare sitting at OSU)
$151.50 2x raid batteries (rushed shipping)
~$102 psu
Total $473.47 for the year.

Daniel can you get the order in. Free shipping is ok. Order 1x, from
whichever reputable dealer looks ok.(Databug looked fine)

Ok, the hardware starts showing its age, but given that the machines
have been running several years with absolutely no HW replacements at
all (as far as I know), I think that's within reasonable limits.
