You could do this with a combination of two vertically mounted BayTech RPC27[1] units per rack, and one Cisco 3640 w/ 3 * NM-32A and 1 * NM-1E2W's (and the appropriate octal -> RJ45 serial cables and DCE headshells) split between two racks. This would provide you with effectively 44 serial console ports (not counting the 2 per rack burned on the BayTech units) and 42 remotely controllable outlets at a space penalty of only 1U per rack. I'm doing something similar right now... -a [1] <http://www.baytechdcd.com/cgi-private/prodlist?show=RPC27>
