Yesterday Evening I replaced my HP z240 that was sitting on a shelf with a Rosewill 2U 15" chassis (center image)
TheRosewill machine is an AMD 4, Ryzen 5 5600X @3.7Ghz with 6-core/12-threads. 32 GB (4x 8GB) of DDR4 DIMMS. A B550M AORUS ELITE microATX board. With a 1TB NVMe SSD, NVIDIA Quadro P1000 for PLEX transcoding and lastly a SFP+ 10gig network card. I also replaced the stock MOLEX fans with Noctua redux PWM fans.
The upgrade was primarily to satisfy my OCD and get the "PC on a shelf" replaced with an actual rack mounted computer. The AMD cpu is a bit more powerful than the previous intel i7-7700 and can run the minecraft hosted worlds a bit smoother, and doesn't interfere with PLEX serving or transcoding at all.
Both the PLEX server and synology data storage server are linked with 10 gig through the 10gig Unifi X16 switch.
The entire setup is inside of a 18U wall mounted and enclosed rack mount with four 120mm fans for ventilation on the top and bottom.
Rack explained top to bottom: U1 - Unifi-8p-60W switch for PoE to my two Unifi-IW-AC units.
U2 - Keystone Patch Panel for inter-rack connections and connections throughout house.
U3 - Unifi-X16-10G switch (12 SFP+ ports and 4 8P8C ports, all with 10Gig speeds)

Actual real life chemist here. This is not new. We’ve had “chemistry predictors” based on graph theory for decades. All that’s new is that this is AI based. So… potentially less accurate than the current tools.
