Only advantage is size. The Via PV CLE266 MII 1.6ghz is excellent at Rs.3050 + 4%. It has two pci slots

Evening JTD, 3050 + the cost of the processor right?. 3050 was only the cost of the m/b where as wrt to the Via P3VB you have the CPU on the board itself.

Nope. The Via PV CLE266 MII has an onboard processor and is included in the cost.

I guess for your "PlutoHome" kind of solution you will need a far more powerful machine than the VIA C3/Eden.

Yes. Particularly if you want to stream video. The CLE266 can stream one channel. I have not tried more, although i suspect it will be able to manage two with 512mb ram.
