Hey all, I'm looking for old, not necessarily functional rackmount equipment to fill a rack with for some airflow experiments I'm doing, and I was wondering if anyone had junk lying around that would qualify. Anything I can bolt into a rack will do, from shelves to token-ring switches. Bonus

The Ah of a battery may depend quite a lot on the current drawn from it; I'd look for a datasheet, it probably has an Ah/current graph. You need a pretty high-power switcher to feed that current at 19.5VDC, in electronics-land that's a TON of power. Definitely something with an external power
