Thanks, I have seen that, but that ends up being pretty large (2.5 times the surface area of an rpi5 I believe) - vertical space is a lot cheaper than horizontal space, and the case is very industrial (which further adds to the width, with the top fan making stacking difficult), and you still need to deal with finding a decent heatsink to get passive cooling (unfortunately its really important to me: less power, less noise, and doesn't suck in dust). As you can probably guess/tell, this is just a hobby of mine (and really mostly being used for education, and sometimes for low power mobile (ie. arm) network driver development).https://www.waveshare.com/cm5-poe-base-a.htm
And available with case if you want it.
