	- you need to worry about air flow, if you care about keeping
	the cpu opertaing temp as low as possible
	- you need to worry about which kind of heatsink you use
	- you need to worry about which fans you use
	- you need to worry about noise issue if you keep that in
	an office/home instead of a noisy/airconditioned server room
	- you need to worry about how much cpu/memory/disks you need
	since space and air is limited
	- on and on..
