There is a lot of cobbling going on. In videos, people have stuff laying all
over connected with wires and are getting certain things to work. Not really
a purchasable option at this time though.
The AMD link video sort of proves the concept in that a server is being
released consisting of multiple small boards. I don't think what they will
offer will be "free" as in freedom though.
Low power consumption is a driver of using the small boards too.
I've noticed a dead project/product from a guy in Germany, I didn't save the
link. He created a boxed storage device using tiny laptop drives and a small
board that was pretty close to free. Used almost no power compared to the
usual options.
I think Atrix? phones had these "lapdocks" which look like a notebook
computer. Screen, keyboard, etc. there is a way to use these (which are now
cheap and discontinued) with a small board as a computer.
There are similar things to turn tablets into more of a regular computer.
That's what I meant about a near desktop experience. Not sure of freedom
issues, probably something won't be quite right.
Most likely part by part would need to be selected and hooked together.
Harder to find than to do.
