Please Please Please tell me this was a corporate data centre, not a
hosting facility.

If it was an ISP, can you let me know which off-list?

You are more than a bit lucky there.

A Data Centre of my aquaintence lost its neutral (of a three phase 
feed from a UPS) some time very early in the morning, and by the time 
people arrived the Emergency Power Off circuit on the Power 
Distribution Unit had melted, so removing power to the room.  Not 
before each and every power supply in every piece of kit had been 
fritzed, however.  A Sun E10K, several other mid range and small 
Suns, and a few dozen NT computers, not to mention thirty odd items 
of networking equipment, the door lock, the GPS clock, the list goes 
on and on... all needed new PSUs, at a cost in excess of 100K UKP, 
and a days outage to the business, estimated cost half a mil.

Suddenly the 50K I wanted for a large static switch (which would have 
prevented this destruction) all looked very affordable.  And now its
arrived, it is very nice, nearly 7m long and weighing in at 3.5 
tonnes!  You can have the tiddler version (30A max, single phase) for
a mere $4600.
