Can I use a desktop server?

You can use any size server you want, as long as it will fit into a 19" rack cabinet. We recommend you use a purpose designed 19" rack mount server chassis, however this something you can decide. Some clients use "Micro-ATX" (MATX) form factor computers these take up just a couple of U and are very effective when putting in several low budget machines. Here are some links to chassis providers: Rack mount chassis: MicroATX Chassis: Complete Rackmount Servers: Bare Bones MicroATX computers:
