Something to think about is that with a laptop all changes and even power cycling or reboots require your machine to be touched. Unlike a desktop or server you can't just power cycle the box from anywhere should it lock up. With your situation someone will have to physically touch the box. This could either cost you remote hands time/money or limit you to parts of the day that staff is in house and you could call in a favor or two. If you configure your laptop correctly to say running with the lid closed it takes up no more space then a 1U server so price wise this shouldn't be a problem.

I would shoot some emails to different colo providers and just ask them outright.

Good Luck
