Not an odd request, actually. What's odd is how difficult this is. Back in the PE700/800 days, even up the PE2900 days, Dell used to sell the conversion kits. I've converted a few PE2800 and PE2900 boxes. What I found is that it is supported on the T320: http://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/19/poweredge-t320/T320OwnersManual-v3/Preparing-A-System-For-Conversion-From-Tower-Mode-To-Rack-Mode?guid=GUID-435D60E9-191B-44FE-B63E-A455A02E93C3&lang=en-us But for some reason Dell doesn't actually SELL the kits. You have to order them third party. http://disctech.com/Dell-332-0331-PowerEdge-T420-Tower-to-Rack-Conversion-Kit Alternately, you could install a rack shelf, remove the feet, and lay it sideways.
