I've used Via CPUs with their ITX format motherboards to build hundreds of Point of Sale comuters for many happy customers.
With the quite small ITX motherboard, a small 3.5" hard drive and cool-running 1Ghz CPU running XP, thermal issues are no problem.
The final product is small, reasonably priced and easily fits under a touch screen monitor.
Really, the only problem with these small Via-based computers is dust and dirt. The store owners seem to *never* clean them and over time normal convection currents pull dust, dirt, grease and bugs into the system finally causing them to overheat. Can't blame us or Via for that! LOL!!
