VIA has gone one step further and is entering the small form factor area. This is part of a Press Release:

Offering the choice of a VIA Eden™ ESP processor for fanless systems with power sensitive requirements, or a VIA C3™ E-Series processor for more multimedia rich applications, the highly integrated VIA EPIA Mini-ITX mainboard features integrated 3D graphics, AC'97 audio, Ethernet and TV-Out connectivity. Measuring only 170mm x 170mm, it is the perfect platform for developing the next generation of small footprint Digital Information Appliances and Entertainment Devices.

With an operating voltage of only 1.2V, the recently launched VIA Eden ESP processor expands on the acclaimed low-power consumption and heat dissipation qualities of the VIA C3™ processor, offering lower power consumption than any other x86 processor on the market today. Furthermore, the VIA Eden ESP processor does not require a fan, opening up endless possibilities in the design of silent PCs and other quiet running devices.


I also contacted VIA and I hope to try one of these things out. A small PC, like the Shuttle SS series, but with hardly any noise.
