Hi!
I want to build a small home server that I want to be low power since it's gonna be on 'round the clock. What chipset is the best for this these days? I'm thinking I want to go with a mATX-motherboard with onboard GPU, GbLAN, and DVI is a requirement. Any suggestions?

got it running my home server now and it's going pretty good so far.

Fit-PC2 perhaps?
It has what you ask for.

In addition to motherboard, what CPU of the today available flora is the most energy efficient? So, what combo of MB + CPU would you recommend for a low power system?

Sheva plug uses very very little power but has no video.
