My choices for CPU's looking for low heat (I'm NOT overclocking) and low power consumption. But I think they are all 65W.

Let me know what you think?
 
Well what are you doing with the carputer? The GeForce 7100 isn't powerful enough to decode HD video so it that is what you are planning to do you will need a fast CPU.
 
E5200. I r passively cooling my entire WHS with just 1 Noctua 900rpm exhaust.. in a closet.
 
E5200 no doubt. No sense get the E2180 or E2200 when the price is the same or almost the same cost. No sense pay extra also for an E5300 or E6300 when the E5200 will have no problems meeting your requirements.
