Given most datacentres will charge either by the rack or by the U, that's a 
heck of a lot of space to rent for one server.

As others have suggested, a 1U/2U chassis with one of the low-power Xeon 
variants is probably your best bet. Make sure whatever kernel you're using has 
the appropriate ACPI stuff to enable low-power modes on the CPU (C1 I think, on 
recent Intel chips).

And avoid FB-DIMMs - they're *incredibly* power hungry compared to bog-standard 
ECC DIMMs.

Regards,

Chris
