I'm not sure whether you understood my mail, or what Dell Fortuna is. It's an even smaller system. You can get 240+ servers with full IPMI in such a rack. But I don't know the price, as they don't list it nor want to talk with someone who doesn't buy in volume. Only thing that I do know is that you can buy dedicated hosting (with unlimited fast transfer) on those for 15EUR/month.
