those two requirements together are unusual. most rackmount 1U systems are headless, except a basic VGA for initial configuration. dual display is generally found on a desktop system.
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.
