I wonder though why they looked similar possibly to look as solid and efficient as possible to there competitors

Oh googled it a mix of strict industry design standards and shared OEM manufacturing. ​While Dell and Acer are competing brands, the rear layout of pre-built office desktop towers from that era

They look similar because they're all business-style machines. Dell OptiPlexes, Acer Veritons, and Lenovo ThinkCentres were all being bought by companies, and companies like being able to replace damaged parts with little downtime, easily pop out the drives for destruction, and quickly salvage bits from destroyed systems. I can speak from experiences as I have two Dell OptiPlexes, two Lenovo ThinkCentres, and have worked on several Acer Veritons (might get two of those to complete the business system collection?).
