I’ve found colo companies to be pretty fussy about what hardware they will accept. Ours would reject this.

Edit: and problem with micro clusters like this is always the IPv4 costs.

I was going to ask, if colos providers will allow a hacked together chassis like this, what’s to stop someone sending them an intentionally or unintentionally destructive device?

The same thing that stops most bad behavior: the threat of legal action afterwards.

But first: decency.

You can do that with the mail now. It’s not an additional threat.
