New Core Switches

I got some new toys at work and am in the process of getting the first pair installed. We still need to figure out how to free some rack space to place the second pair at our other location. Here is a photo of the first pair of 6506Es we got installed. There is one more vertical cable organizer to install on the left side but the install went pretty smooth. Considering we had to pull out two 23" racks and install the two 19" racks without turning some equipment off. Thats not something I want to do every week.

Here are the specs of the four switches we got:
Cisco Catalyst 6506E
SUP-720-3B
WS-X6748-GE-TX + DFC
WS-CAC-2500W
WS-CAC-2500W
