In the long run, if they are not completely happy, no matter that they
decided not to be happy because they didn't want to spend money, it will

You should be able to get a couple of racks and rack mountable equipment
to make this an easier project. Demand your own little equipment room
if possible. I can't imagine having SmartJacks, routers, DSU/CSUs all
stuck together haphazardly. *shudder*. If you are going to pull that
many Ts together, you may want to consider having them terminate in some
common device and then running a short bit of fiber from the device to
the server in order to assure maximum performance... (I'm not entirely
sure about the common termination, but the I think the idea is solid...)
