Now, about what you're looking to build - you say that you want 1U, and mention rackspace: in my experience, rackmounts are a *lot* larger than a pizza box, so I'm a little confused at the requirements you're building for.
The rack is already full; I only get that 1U of space by removing a spare part to another location, and unfortunately, I have a depth limit due to the power distribution module on the rack rear. These computers are replacing tower PCs that sit on the floor under a desk in a rather hostile environment, so I'd like to move them to either the desktop or the adjacent rack, but have limited space in either location (1U of short-depth rack or about room for a miniITX box on the desk).
