    VIA's already helped Everex pump out what they claim to be the "world's most energy efficient notebook," and it now looks to be trying to do the same for Systemax, with VIA's low-power processors finding a home in the company's latest desktop PC. While they aren't going so far as to claim that they're the "world's most energy efficient," they are promising a significant cut in your power bills, thanks largely to the VIA pc2500G motherboard at the heart of the system and the low-power 1.5GHz VIA C7-D processor attached to it. Otherwise, for $300 you'll get a barely adequate 512MB of RAM, an 80GB SATA hard drive, and a plain old DVD-ROM drive, with Windows XP Home serving as the OS. If that's not quite enough for you, an extra $100 will get you a combo optical drive and Windows XP Professional.
