Wasn't looking for a full-size server as I'm aiming for "appliance size". I've ordered my first 5017A-EF for viability testing with IPCop, pfSense, etc and for separate use for Asterisk, and another for general CentOS intranet usability. It's a 9.8" deep 1U. I might consider something smaller for shelf-use for the firwall side, but not the others. I'm already doing this to take a Dell PE650 1U out of service....
