If you're a regular visitor to VIA Arena you will already know about the VIA pc-1 series of mainboards. They are fully integrated mainboards that feature a VIA C7-D processor. VIA have just announced their availability in the UK:

"The VIA pc-1 mainboards are available now available from Multithread through the retail website www.linitx.com, and other popular e-tail outlets such as www.infotechshop.co.uk, www.internetreadypcs.co.uk, and www.epcbuyer.com, while complete systems will be available shortly through Kudos in Scotland (www.kudos-systems.org.uk) and Brookestreet Ltd in Northern and Southern Ireland (http://www.brookestreet.com/)." (Read the full Press Release here)

This announcement has coincided with VIA's attendance of the Techno-Footprint ’07: ICT and Sustainability in the Public Sector Conference, held yesterday in London. No doubt one of the reasons why VIA is attending that conference is to educate attendees about what VIA has done in their design of the C7-D processor and the carbon offset programs VIA participates in, to make the product appeal to the green consumer.
