Strangely enough, I had enough rev9 PSUs to fix all of my DL360s last week.
It took a bit of badgering to get Compaq to admit that there was a problem
but they sent them through quickly after that.

For those that remember the threads a few weeks ago about DL360s... 

I had purchased 3 of them almost a year ago.  They sat humming quietly along
in my datacenter.  I never had a problem.  Until this morning.  I came in to
find one down.  Tried to boot it, and it said the power supply was bad.
Thankfully I keep a spare.  Replaced it, rebooted, all was good.  As it was
coming up, a second one suddenly powered down.  I said "hmmm...." and tried
to power it back up.  Bad power supply!  I pulled one of my test 360s and
yanked the power supply from it, and got that one rebooting.  As it was
coming up... you guessed it, the 3rd died.  I swear, it was so funny I had
to laugh.  They actually died in the same order they had been activated in,
one right after the other.  I felt like I was on Bloopers or something!  The
third, sadly, is down until I can get a replacement power supply.  Gah!
