Any that I've seen that are any good are convertibles (tower OR rack.)

Yes, I dealt with another question of the poster were the Backups were completing but he was worried about a bad block on a nonexistent device. Tried helping but it was to not avail. I also knew it was software raid by the model and the Intel Array Image

@scottalanmiller the T330 and T430 series are good and you can adapt them to a Rack if needed be. The last Tower servers I ordered were the T410 and T310 series. All the rest are Rack.

My last tower was an insider deal for IBM employees in 2000.

LOL, we work with SMB which do not have a rack at all so that was the reason and still is for some that prefer a server in house. Otherwise is cloud hosting.

Even rackmounts for us... when we didn't have a real rack we still used rack mounts on baker's racks or wall mounted. Even at home.

Rack servers really do work well almost anywhere. Just two pegs on a wall and they will hang nicely, out of the way.

Ya we have 20 z440s that are racked. But those are higher end workstations.
