[c-nsp] power supply for Cisco 7604

[Gert Doering]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused regarding power supply options for the 7604.  Overall,
it seems to be a nice box, but using 2700W power supplies (at about
1500 EUR for the second one!) is a bit overboard, IMHO, unless you fill
the box with 48-port-PoE-Ethernet modules, or something similarily 
demanding.

Looking through www.cisco.com, it seems as if there are no other options,
though.

Can this be true?  A new PSU form factor, and only a single type of power
supply, with far too much capacity?

The 7603 has 950W and 1400W PSUs available, which is makes sense, depending
on the modules used (our box has a Sup720/3B and a 6408A-GBIC, and consumes 
564W, if "show power" is to be believed) - but 2700W / 1500 EUR is a *bit*
extreme...
