mini-itx motherboards have been designed fairly effectively to resist
stacking. with most of the airflow either down onto or away from the top
surface of the mainboard, and a huge block of connectors on the back. I
have 8 c136's (not for a cluster), they are cool and almost silent, but if
you stack them they'll overheat almost immediatly.
