I agree. In this case, the floor is not the best environment for the
equipment, the adjacent rack has only 1U of short-depth rack space
available, and the desktop is already crowded with keyboards and monitors.
 
Since the reqirements are (relatively) modest (except those two), I was
hoping to squeeze something in.

Looks like I'm out of luck, and buying another full tower to hold a
motherboard, a disk drive, and one expansion card.

Sigh.
