I have no idea if this is on or off topic (apolgies if the latter).

Right now we're running 48 1u servers in a cabinet off AC.  We're considering 
switching to DC power supplies with the hope that any cost increase in the 
power supply and rectifier would be more than offset by the cost savings in 
electrical and cooling.

So I'm looking for a rack mountable DC rectifier but since I've never shopped 
for one, I don't know "good" ones.  Any help would be great.
