 They do make a DC version of the short 2U chassis Justin suggested, but it
runs on -48V:

I'll look into the Supermicro units. I've also been looking at the Dell
R210 II, which is only 15.5" deep and seems to be pretty inexpensive these
days.

It depends on the topology of your network, but if you want to do this, put
a few 1U shallow depth supermicros or similar out at the far edge of your
network. The farthest POP from your core. Doesn't have to be expensive,
even a 4 year old model is fine as long as it can run the latest
debian-testing (stretch) and has a single 1000BaseT interface for things
like iperf, etc.

We do a lot of tunnels back to a few data centers and an Amazon instance. 

If you are talking Radius it’s always good to have one one-site at least.

I like these:
