Announce post has more info, see:

We have a 4U mid tower desktop right now, but we're thinking
of switching to a 1U rackable that we have (not sure if we
have the rails though).

And yes... we are wanting to colocate the server somewhere
else.

Power is pretty minimal... it isn't a 4CPU 1U unit :)
and it's a bit old... so probably extremely low power
given machinery built in the past 5 years or so.
