well, if your going to put your machine in a data center, server hardware can go into server rack cases. The smaller the rack case, the cheaper it will cost to host at the data center. But server hardware also costs more money.

but if you get what is called a 2u rack case, just about anything made today fits into one of those (might need some modification and definitely need a special heatsink)
