You put them in the back of the rack and have the small computers in
the
front. You might even turn the switches around, so the ports face
inwards
into the rack. The network cables would be very short and go directly
from
the mini computers (Raspberry Pi?) to the switch, all within the one
unit
shelf.
Yes this.
I presumed ras pi, but those don't have gigabit Ethernet.
Then I realized: http://www.parallella.org/ (I've got one of these
sitting on my standby shelf to be racked, which is what made me think of
it).
To the OP please do tell us more about what you are doing, it sounds
very interesting.
