At Amazon scale, I imagine they strip the original chassis and use only the motherboard with custom power and cooling for some insane density. As visible here

you could save some significant space doing so.

Seems like it would have to be 5U if sideways...the M1 minis are 7.7 inches / 19.7cm tall.
