SFF
Small Form Factor is a generic term originally phrased as shuttle form factor, and originally meant to describe shoebox-sized personal computers with exactly two expansion slots.[1] The initialization "SFF" was later applied to include other, similar PC designs from brands such as AOpen and First International Computer, with the word "Shuttle" replaced with the word "Small" in that initialization. Because so many of these mini-sized personal computers use proprietary motherboards, use of the word "Form Factor" is actually a misnomer.
