I feel Sempron LE and Via mobo would work, but I am not sure about power consuption.
But hey, what about gPC ? Its hardware looks perfect to me...

I, well. The combo you suggested will be okay considering the cheap prices; but power consumption will be on the higher side than the Atom 945 combo.
If one is ready to trade off the easily-configurable GFX of Intel chipset with Via; Id suggest the guy to go for Some Via Processor+Via Mobo combo. Like Epia Platform. Im not sure where exactly to look for those though.
And gPC? Yes; that one looks pretty nice to me too.
