Out of curiosity, are you running a 32 or 64bit kernel? It seems weird to me though that C3700 would work and not J6700, since ISTR their respective hardware don't differ that much...

IIRC C3700 is B2000-style box. It can be racked sideways with L-shapped support rails.
My previous hosting offer still stands, although I believe it might not be the easiest/closest one for you ;-)
