Ivy Bridge was rumored to launch in January (since PC makers have been demoing products with it since mid this year), but it was pushed back to what seems to be an April 2012 release. Trinity is supposed to launch in March 2012.
The current crop of Sandy Bridge and Llano chips are more than capable of delivering great HTPC performance. Ivy Bridge and Trinity will likely provide incremental improvements in terms of features, performance and power consumption, if you are willing to wait.
Maraming efficient PSUs. It doesn't have to be in a small format. Generally, most PC PSUs operate most efficiently between 50% to 75% of max capacity. Selecting a PSU that would stay within or close to this zone for most of your tasks, without exceeding the PSU's capacity during peak loads is the most power-efficient way to build a rig. Choosing an 80 Plus certified power supply can also help.
Nelson's uATX Sandy Bridge desktop with 2 HDDs, a modem and a BD drive consumed less than 30w during movie playback when I was testing it, if I remember right. Idle is around 20w. That's pretty close to a notebook's power consumption. This is made from affordable off the shelf parts.
