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.
