Considerations
- There is only so much power you can get from your datacenter operator without renting the whole thing
 - You prefer to use 1U machines
 - You understand that there is no reason for having more than 20 machines in one rack
 
How To
- Arrange in packs of three
 - Leave 1U between every three-pack
 - put the switches/routers in the middle of the rack (e.g. U23, U24, U25)
 - start out from the switches, moving forward away from them
 - put the heavier machines on the bottom
 - put UPS/PDU appliances on the bottom
 - put the power plugs on the sides
