Does the P4 support a decent low power state? I was always under the impression that the AMD chips did a better job with PowerNow. Guess you're looking to re-use existing parts? Otherwise I'd suggest looking at the VIA EPIA motherboards which AFAIK don't use much power at all and still give reasonable-ish performance.
