I got some used ones by server technology for $70 on eBay.  Sentinel, they're awesome.  My units are at a data center so I use it to log in and check power, power cycle units, etc.  Highly recommended if you're running remotely.

Yeah after looking into it, it appears it tries to achieve some
Funky “fake 3 phase power” <- honestly don’t know what else I could say to explain my understanding of it.
With two 20 amp breakers or something.

I haven’t used these or purchased from them *yet* but I am willing to give it a shot.

Strange setup - haven't seen one like this before.  Keep in mind the C19 plug it's being fed by is typically only rated to 16A, so even though it says it's a 30A PDU, the cable they're using is only rated for a bit over half that.  Personally I'd avoid this and go with something that actually can support the breakered load - L6-30 is what you're looking for in terms of input cable.

I've used these in the past, and are slightly cheaper than the first one:

But as btc-haze pointed out - it's hard to beat eBay and picking up used ones on there.  The only thing I would want you about is if you're getting a smart PDU with power cycling, etc - I picked up a bunch of Tripp-Lite ones a while back so I could do remote rebooting when needed, and the stupid things only have a relay on one leg of the power.  Net result is that with some of the better server power supplies will continue to operate even if one leg goes down.

So I'm getting the 220V line installed early next week.

The receptacle will be an L6-30. I would like to go from that to a PDU that would be running two 2400W power supplies. Each 30A circuit will be running up to 4 Avalon 741s in the future), putting the max load at about 22 amps.

I've seen APC and Tripp Lite with a host of range as far as ratings, cost, and features.

What are you guys using and what have you had good/bad experience with?
