Have you considered "Desktop" type of cases? You could maybe place them
bellow the existing Desktops, to conserve the horizontal space.
You can also think about Building a "beast" system that would run
original CentOS and one or more guest systems (CentOS, Windows,
whatever). If you use KVM Virtualization, and buy MB with "IOMMU" BIOS
option
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IOMMU-supporting_hardware), you
could pass PCI devices (second graphics card, telemetry PCI card, etc)
to guest system, thus making current systems obsolete.
So far I have only heard about IOMMU and PCI passthrough, so do not hold
me to my words, but they say it works.
