Rigs to Desks create another problem, at least for me, my Rigs should go to a colocation facilty which need a standard rack form factor, which Rigs have, but Desks don't.
So I cannot ask for Desks as replacement for Rigs unless you can put Desks inside a standard rack compatible case.

I don't really see that as a big problem, just like with the Avalons (last years, not the new 2U rackmount ones), we just put them on little shelves that we screw into the racks. 2 shelves that cost EU 15 each are not such a problem...
Of course if you can't lay them flat, then you have to stand them up and lose more space
I'm a little hesitant to ask for this change because we don't know whether BitMine is able to transform each Rig in Desk without further delays.
I have to ask colocation site to prepare for a different solution, which uses more space, and then, maybe, I end up waiting for much longer because BitMine is out of Desk cases.

I actually just sent an email asking if its possible to convert. I also asked what my estimated shipping time would be if I converted my order because like you I fear that we may just get shoved to the end of the line.
I received this very quick and nice response from Antonio. I will say that their queue systems seems whacky I have received different queue positions on different email requests. Guess I will be waiting for my rig and not switching to a desk after all.

Dear Mr.xxxxxxxx,
since during this week I am expecting the final information regarding the start of the production of Rigs,I will advise you to wait another week 10 days.
Since the date that the Rigs will enter the production will show which kind of machine(desk or rig) will be possible to arrive faster to you.
At the moment the rig queue that you are having is 13x (which means that we will have to produce 13x-1 rigs before yours,though if we switch to desk we are talking that the queue of desk will be 43x.)
So I would advise to wait a little more to see the progression of the Rigs,
anyway that time that I am asking you to wait it will not affect your queue position.
Please let me know your intentions.
Thanks
