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....
