OT:Suggestions for low power small size builds?

I put together a Atom 510/Mini FoxConn box for the wife and we both love the 
small footprint, low power consumption and *quietness*

I want something like that for me only gruntier for doing those long KDE trunk 
builds ... Maybe this isn't possible ...

Currently I have a AMD Dual Core 4200+ with 2GB Ram and it feels underpowered, 
a Atom isn't going to cut it. 

Getting lost in all the various CPU/Mobo combos one can do, I like the look of 
the Athlon II X2 235E - only 45W but all the Micro/Mini AM3 Mobo's seem to use 
ATI chipsets and I'd really prefer NVidia.

Any suggestions? Maybe I could get the Athlon II and  AM3 Mobo and add a 
Nvidia Video Card
