Myself, I really wouldn't call that 'small form factor', wh= atever Dell call it. I'd call that just 'a moderately compact desktop'. Looking at the specs [1], it's about 300 x 300 x 100 mm. What Dell calls= a 'micro form factor' machine [2] is about 180 x 180 x 40mm, and even th= at's pushing it: that's easily the biggest thing I'd think of as 'small'.= I'm not sure what I'd take as a definition of 'small form factor', but 's= mall enough to be strapped to the back of a monitor' and 'fanless' or 'a = few Watts' would probably be in there. Aha: of _course_ there's a Wikipedia page about them [3]. It looks like = volume is a key discriminant, with the things I'd think of as 'small' com= ing in under 1 litre.
