You forgot to tell us which VIA chipset or MB-- there are lots and  
lots of VIA-based motherboards around, with a wide variety of hardware.

I wouldn't get a Celeron + VIA combo; I'd rather use an Intel MB with  
an Intel CPU, and I'd much rather get a Pentium-3/-M CPU then a  
Celeron.  Otherwise, go with an VIA socket-A motherboard and a Athlon- 
XP/Barton/Sempron CPU, those should be quite inexpensive and yet  
perform quite well.
