fyo, re: "Anyone know if VIA's new 1GHz+ enhanced C3 processors require a fan? I'm actually considering buying one"

I haven't seen anything about Via's most recent processor wrt cooling/power. The Mini-iTx sounds interesting to build a "luggable computer" (I am not quite interested in a notebook). You might also consider something like the Shuttle SV24 Barebones system (listings on PW for $250 + $10 S/H) and reviewed here: hwextreme.com

I am interested in a system like this mostly as a network access point that is quiet, small, and movable. However, I think the performance for any rigorous task would be lacking compared to any real CPU&video card combination. My "luggable" computer is presently waiting more inspiration and a new round of fully integrated micro-ATX motherboards.
