You're saying there is an option to not using sine wave? Aren't sine waves the crux of alternating current? I have no idea if there is any usable products or devices that work against square wave power - do you have some firsthand knowledge of this? Are these square-wave products cheaper or something? For those of us that are not data-center junkies, can you provide us some additional information?
