That's what I'm doing. I'm using a complete VIA setup. The chip is a VIA C7 <1Ghz processor and it has an 80W PSU that I'm pretty confident I won't even really stress since I'm also using a CF memory card from a digital camera as my hard drive to minimize heat and power consumption.
GenKreton: I will definitely be in touch with you about doing some testing and suggestions. If you care to do so, PM me your email address so we don't have to divert the topic of this thread with our technical garble.
