Hi, trying to build a super low power consuming PC... does anyone know a reputable dealer online or in NYC that sells the Via C3 chips? Looked on Via's site, and the dealers there seem to only sell in bulk. Did a few searches, and nothing really comes up.

I believe he's building a desktop PC, not a laptop.

Go try to find a motherboard and PGA transmeta chip. You can't "build" a Transmeta system that I know of.

There are no desktop PC motherboard compatible with the Transmeta microprocessors. Transmeta is Mobile only.

It's not mobile only, many servers run Transmeta Crusoe processors.
