I got my J series cheap off of ebay because it wouldn't power on. Turns
out getting a replacement power supply was very difficult from Juniper or
the manufacturer of the power supply. I ended up rebuilding a PC supply to
do the job.
Now to find rack ears and a module slot cover. Juniper quoted $150+ for
the rack ears. If I can find a set, I think I might look to make a bunch
of them.
