Well, the shuttle XPCs seems to be a foot deep, 8" wide, and 8" tall
(guestimating while looking at one).

The Mini seems to be 6" wide, 6"deep, and 2"tall.  So I'd say you could
maybe fit 10 Minis into the space of a shuttle, ignoring the space that
plugging in that many power and ethernet cables would take.
