I have an old HTPC that I love to death, but the thing is huge. Not huge for an HTPC, but larger than I would like. I have been looking at mini ITX and C7 processors, but can find no performance comparisons. I don't need bleeding edge speed, but with AMD's new format on the horizon and mini itx core2duo boards coming out I would like to see some sort of comparison between even a budget mobile intel proc and the 2dhz c7. I just dont want to spend 200 on the proc board and 100 on a case only to have it run media like poo poo.

How small are you wanting to go exactly? Silverstone makes a MicroATX case that's a little less than 4 inches tall:

Is there a USB wired device that has a keyboard and mouse combined into a single unit?

I found some wireless options that are nearly $200, but I'd like something cheaper and wired so I could make use of my HTPC's front USB ports.

Anyone know of anything?

Here's what Newegg has for wired keyboard/mouse combos. You can see some have the pointing device built in.

Can anyone suggest a good, as close to silent CPU heatsink/fan that will fit in an Antec Fusion case?

If you really want silence you could probably get away with a fanless Scythe Ninja Mini:
