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?

Check out the Biostar A760G M2+ from this thread: link here

here's a newegg link so you can at least check out some of the specs: linky

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?

The Biostar A760G M2+ doesn't seem to be available in Sweden, any other recommendations?

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