Yes! I went down the rackmount rathole about 20 years ago, and for 10 years all my computing equipment was installed in a 44u cabinet. The problem is that rack mount plus low noise equals very high cost, if it is even achievable. Eventually I could not stand the noise anymore, and got rid of the rack. So did every single one of my colleagues who tried rackmount. As others have mentioned rackmount equipment is also expesive, often ridiculously so. I am very happy to leave racks in the data center where they belong.
