Fitting A Linux Box On A PCI Card

Could something like this be the future of computing where for additional processing power you just kept adding additional computers inside of a host?"

    Follow me here:
    A computer used to take up a room.
    Then, computers were large cabinets in a computer room.
    Now, they are boxes in a computer cabinet in a computer room.
    So we can extrapolate the next step for computers is to be cardss in computer box in a computer cabinet in a computer room.

    It's a natural (obvious) progression really.
