I have seen Do I need to leave gaps in a standard server rack? and my question is similar but different:

I have several rack servers (DELL 2850 mostly) but do not have a rack structure. Can I simply put one server on the top of another without having cool issues? (a pile of servers without putting them in a rack cabinet, just on the top of a desk one above the other)

I know rack cabinets allow some space between servers, even if you dont have gaps between them. What I am asking is just to put one on top of the other, with no vertical space at all.

Thanks

Yes, they are designed to vent front and rear. Stacking them is not going to make them any hotter or cooler than if they were in an actual rack.
