small form factor
A small form factor (SFF) is a computer form factor designed to minimize the volume of a desktop computer. For comparison purposes, the size of an SFF case is usually measured in litres. SFFs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, including shoeboxes, cubes, and book-sized PCs. Their smaller and often lighter construction has made them popular as home theater PCs and as gaming computers for attending LAN parties. Manufacturers also emphasize the aesthetic and ergonomic design of SFFs since users are more likely to place them on top of a desk or carry them around.
Small form factors do not include computing devices that have traditionally been small, such as embedded or mobile systems. However, "small form factor" lacks a normative definition and is consequently open to interpretation and misuse. Manufacturers often provide definitions that serve the interests of their products.〔(SilverStone Technology Co., Ltd. What is SFF (SG03) ? )〕
==History==
The acronym SFF. originally stood for "Shuttle Form Factor," describing shoebox-sized personal computers with two expansion slots.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20120510113852/http://www.sysopt.com/features/cases/article.phpr/12024_3611871_8〕 The meaning of SFF evolved to include other, similar PC designs from brands such as AOpen and First International Computer, with the word "Small" replacing the word "Shuttle".
SFF originally referred to systems smaller than the Micro-ATX. The term SFF is used in contrast with terms for larger systems such as "mini-towers" and "desktops."〔http://web.archive.org/web/20120510195433/http://www.sysopt.com/features/cases/article.php/12024_3611871_6〕
