You need a rack space for your computer. In other words, you need a rack mounted computer to ease your work with the computer, even if you are not a professional.

Before going into details on why you need a rack mounted computer, it is necessary to familiarize ourselves with what a rack mounted computer really is. 

Many people are not very clear on exactly what it is.

A rack mounted computer is simply computer that is mounted on a metal frame (other wise called a rack). 

To prevent use of inferior computer racks, the Electronics Industries Association (EIA) has provided standards for computer racks. This standard helps to ensure that you only get to use the best computer racks for your computer. 

Note that there is a big difference between a computer rack and a computer cabinet. The computer rack is the frame used for mounting the computer, while the computer cabinet is fitted with doors and usually side panels- and used to put in the computer.
