In NYC, secure cabinet space goes for ~$30/U/month. (That's just 
space, environment and power... not bandwidth.) A G3/G4 on it's side 
is 6U and a G3/G4 in a Marathon rack is 4U. That is a savings of 
~60/mo/box. It adds up quickly and pays for itself in no time. YMMV 
if you're not buying co-lo service in a secure facility in an 
earthproof building with 36 hours of battery power and 2 weeks of 
diesel generator power available.

You can probably get 4 or 6 G4 cubes on a single shelf in 6U of 
vertical space... Now you're talking cost effective!
