C-Jelly- With currently available parts, you could build up a fanless desktop with nForce chipset (which I have been told by a nVidia rep. supports PowerNow!) and mobile Duron or A4. You sure? I don't think that's quite right because you need to handle the situation where the user does CPU-intensive work for an extended period of time. You need graceful thermal throttling under moderately heavy loads. I don't think there is any AMD chipset out there that does anything other than save the CPU from melting. PowerNow is for saving the battery, not the CPU.
