I have a number of Small Form Factor units standing on their sides as 
servers. I prefer Lenovo these days, HP SFF power supplies have been a 
problem the past few of those, blowing up after running non-stop for a 
couple months.

Of course now I am looking at ARM boards for servers. Redsleeve (and 
Fedora) for now but soon Centos! I perfer the Cubieboard (2 and truck) 
as ARMv7 units. Not hard to put together your own server with them. THe 
lower power draw and heat makes them so much better.
