>I don´t think so, the VIA miniitx boards are cheaper if you want just a cool and quiet linuxbox.
VIA's mini-itx boards are also very slow. For example, the EPIA with 800 MHZ hardly reaches the performance of a Celeron 400 (because the CPU is quite crippled). They are still useful for playing video and audio: the more expensive variants have hardware-assisted DVD decoding to get around the poor performance of the CPU. But compared to a G4 with 1.4GHz (or whatever will be on the Pegasos2), Via's mini-itx boards are underperformers. That shows if you encode material: none is good enough for real time recording with a DivX codec. They are not good enough for recent and not-so-recent 3D games. And they are not necessarily "cool". In fact all but one of their boards, the 533 MHz variant, come with a fan on the CPU.
