I can see myself buying one.

At home I have a desktop, laptop (15"), and an Android phone. However uncomfortable it is to read RSS feeds, and email in a 3.2" screen, more often than I would ever have expected I find myself doing these things on the phone.

The reason is simple: the phone is always on, while the other two are things I need to "decide" to turn on.

I am also uninclined to leave my laptop on. The vent kicks in, and Gnome always wakes the disk. Suspending the system is not as reliable I'd wish it to be.

No case for Chromium OS

The cynical in me says you need a new netbook with XFCE. My Eee 1000H fits your use case beautifully; I have fine-grained control of the fan and with 
echo 80 > /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/pwm1
it is barely audible. And you can hook it up to a big-ass monitor. Just be sure to stay clear of that horrible Poulsbo mess and similar binary-only fiascos.
