They do make a DC version of the short 2U chassis Justin suggested, but it runs on -48V: https://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/2U/523/SC523L-410.cfm 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 t

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-testi
