Did you ask them why they spec'd a rackmount server? Could it because it's more physically secure than under a desk? Or...
The computer isn't going to be used that heavily, it will probably be idle 90% of the time
Is it possible they are planning to use it for other purposes the rest of the time, perhaps by virtualising your desktop alongside other environments?

Cheers. If we go with the server option it will be in a rack in a cupboard somewhere so that shouldn't be an issue.
The machine isn't going to be that critical, it's basically a backup to provide some extra grunt when the laptops we normally use are struggling.
