Are Thinkcentres and Thinkstations as good as the Thinkpads? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I know this a Thinkpad community but I just found out what a Thinkcentre and Thinkstation are and they look interesting. A Thinkcentre M920q, for example, looks like a good home server candidate and used versions are very cheap on eBay.

They're business desktops, there's nothing special about them. They'll sometimes have the same issues as any other OEM computer which is poor cooling leading to throttling. Not really an issue on bigger desktops, but tiny formfactors it can be a problem.
