Good point.  The cabinets we'd be using have 4" stand-offs between the 
rails and the cabinet frame, for wire management and they're fairly deep 
as well.  Even at that, some servers seem to have obscenely deep 
foorprints - Dell PowerEdge 2850s come to mind :)

I also have to wrestle with the wire management a bit, since some boxes 
have their network ports on the front and some have them on the back...
