I wouldn't remove the case, it's an integrated wind-tunnel design. It can
become unstable if the wind-tunnel is removed. But it looks like it almost
fits in 2 rack units by just putting it on a rackshelf in its case.

AFAIK the PlayStation linux is using virtualized hardware, and its system
architecture is only powerfull when you make use of its specific
capabilities (emotion engine processor). The Xbox is almost completely
generic (but partially mutated) hardware. Keep us posted about how the PS2
works out!
