You bet, I have an installed base numbering in the 40s. They
work really well and even though there is no Retrospect Client (yet)
I have been able to back them up by mounting the directories on the
backup server and backing them up from there.
I expect that since OS X Server and OS X are based on
Unix-like kernels that there will probably be a Linux/Unix compatible
Retrospect Client sometime in the not to distant future.

There are a few companies that do conversions of desktop
servers into rack mounted servers. I saw one that will convert an
iMac into a 1u rackmountable case. I wish I could remember the name
because I would think about buying a few.
