Try to get your hands on a C3-based board.  They tend to predate much of
the ACPI crap that has infested the BIOS space these days.

I'm typing this on a PXE-booted EPIA-EK system with a 1GHz C3 CPU.
While this particular system has a fan on the CPU heatsink, it *never*
turns on.  My display runs at 1920x1080x16 (VESA mode).
