My main desktop:

Intel Core2 Duo E4300 @ 3Ghz
2GB RAM
4 hard drives
500W power supply

Pentium III backup machine (running on that right now)
P3 733mhz
256MB RAM
1 30GB hard drive
150W power supply

I'm really just building the VIA computer because I've always loved how small they were and I hate how loud my main desktop computer. I'm thinking of salvaging the hard drives from the main computer and putting them in the P3 machine, since it doesn't use that much power, to just host the files like a network share. Then I'm building the VIA machine since the only thing I don't like about the P3 is how slow it is, so the VIA at 1.5Ghz will give me an extra boost in that area and keep power consumption low.

I just love how small the VIA computers are though. The idea of having a desktop computer that was smaller then my computer monitor is always an idea I liked for some strange reason.
