[c-nsp] Alternatives to 3750 w/ Stackwise?

[Robert Maier]

it depends :)

If only L2 is needed (and i think,all L3 is done on the 7200 ?) then 
maybe the new 2960S are also an optipn. But iirc they have only one PSU 
and a second power source can only be a RPS. So if you want 2 "built in" 
and also hot swappable PSUs the 3750X will perfectly fit
