I've been replacing desktop computers for a lot of people with Atom-based
nettops running Linux lately.
The dual-core Atom chips (original 330, or the new D510) are absolutely
wonderful for general day-to-day tasks.
They're VERY low power as well, so the system generates less heat overall and
Thanks again to everyone who responded to this question.
In particular, thanks to Joseph Sinclair for such an excellent explanation
of the new options that are now available for low-power, low-heat. Sounds
like *exactly* what I was hoping to find.
Outstanding information. Many thanks!

A 750w power supply won't put out a lot of heat unless you USE all
750w. If you put in low-powered parts, the 750 will be barely ticking
along - which means less heat, not more.
Suck 350w out of a 350w power supply and you'll get more heat than you
would out of the same parts and a 750w supply.

I bought a netbook from these same people, and it works great.

Generally speaking thats accurate. However, most power supplies have a
nonlinear efficiency curve. using a 350W supply at 90% may be less hot than
using a 700W supply at 45%. This is very dependent on the supply.
Additionally, power supplies vent directly to the outside of a case,

I'm looking for ideas/suggestions for a replacement desktop.
I don't see any need for the latest and greatest high-powered unit.
I just want strong, reliable, low-heat, low-power consumption
I've had really good luck with a Tyan motherboard. No BS, 3.2 years, just
