Why? That's an honest question not an argument. The Fedora box is an old 
Dell tower because I had it on hand. I also have an Antec case and power 
supply that I thought about using for a build.  With NVMe M.2 I don't need 
those drive bays. I've got a USB optical drive if I need one but I seldom 
plug it in. There's a lot of empty volume as is. I don't need all the 
slots so I could go with micro-ATX.  

The tower does give me a nice flat space for the solderless breadboards of 
whatever project I'm working on, so that's a plus.
