Although we would greatly prefer that your servers come in a rack mount case, you can colocate a regular desktop PC. For this option, you will need 5U of colocation space (4U for the desktop, plus 1 U for a shelf). In the long run, however, converting your desktop system to utilize a 1U or 2U case will be more cost-effective.
