  • A smaller Mac mini brings big problems for server farms and accessory makers

    You don't even need to do the rack-unit-height-divided-by-mini-dimensions math to see this is an power and efficiency win for data centers and colocation farms. You can tell the new mac mini is smaller than the old just by looking at it. At the end of the day, the KPI for hardware design in this case is a volume play: computer per cubic centimeter. :wink:

    That said, I still did the math. On their side, 5" is less than 5.25 (3U), and 3U divides evenly into 42u.
