   Proper rails, like Dell's ReadyRails, can hold the server up while it's fully slid out of the rack. If you have enough slack in the cables to not have to unplug the server when sliding it out, this can work.

   But if the rails drop the server into our hands after you slide it out, that's a pain.

   Of course if the Reform doesn't weight much, has only 2 cables, and you don't have 10 of them in one rack, it won't be as much of a problem.

     In the end, any rackmount chassis is better than no rackmount chassis, and not everything has to have all those convenience features.

     I just wanted to explain what the considerations are for someone with a lot of servers.
