no, it's the other way round.  i want a very small server.  it needs
to have the same cpu/storage/memory config as the typical laptop, but
doesn't need the display or the keyboard.  it would be sufficiently
small to have a black box the size of a laptop but smaller thickness
(because no display or keyboard)
