Something that no one has mentioned yet: a company I was involved with deployed a number of mini-ITX systems (512MB, 500 MHz IIRC) for use as communication gateways - running Red Hat 7/8/9 (long time ago) - the problem we found with running them 24/7 was that they all started throwing disk errors. I concluded that the small format 2.5" disk drives did not like continuous operation. I don't know if they have got better since then, but at the time there was a definite "small disk =>laptop => not 24 hour" implication.
