I have recently seen Fit-PC small form factor Linux machines on sale which have a very low power usage. Would it be feasible to create a cluster of these and just plug and play to expand the cluster?

If you're thinking of building an Atom-based cluster computer, consider some Toradex Robin modules instead, they're cheaper (and even smaller... .

If you have enough cooling in your rack, this shouldn't be a factor though at all.

The storage servers I've seen generally use 2.5" drives instead of 3.5" drives. In my experience the larger drives have better capacity, speed, and durability. Why are the smaller ones favored in servers?
Note this doesn't apply to C: drives.

Velociraptor is using this form factor so something is definitely up ;)
They're probably using SAS drives, which I've never seen in any form-factor other than 2.5"

Perhaps there is a new graphics card in the pipe .
Well, I'm wondering if the form factor might be getting closer, they fit a lot into that 13" form factor.
