I think this would be cool as a temporary installation for people to get
a chance to non-destructively examine the hardware and try out operating
it.

Does anyone know of a place that we might be able to see some hard
numbers on the power consumption? Perhaps interested operators could pay
for their time?

Also, I think 6 "cabinets" might be a more appropriate word. The word
"rack" seems to conjure up an image of a 42-U, 6+ foot frame in most
people's minds.
