It depends what you plan to fit in there, particularly in the way of
rackmount PC's. Take a look at Linitx.co.uk and xcase.co.uk to see
range of case depths and then allow at least another 10mm.

The bend radius into the patch panels won't be the issue, it will be
mains cables and video cables etc into the back of the PC's. If no
PCs, or only shallow ones, then you'll manage with less.
