We have a Cox business connection at my wife's office.  I run a few very low 
traffic domains off of the connection, and since I've only got a few boxes 
and they're not business critical, I do not have special cooling/UPS.  If 
OLUG is willing to pay for an additional IP(s) and a bit of power, I've got a 
bit of space.  Contact me off list or talk to me at installfest.
