This is why I was asking about the VIA motherboards making reasonable performance small email/web servers. They consume 3-5W for everything but the HDD and those are generally the 2.5" notebook PC types.
You get a very low power consumption, and heat generation, and a very quiet box that you can stick anywhere you want without going deaf.
But I'm not sure if they really perform as advertised or if they are severely crippled like an early celeron was.
