Well, this is a 60 watt adaptor, not 30 watts as someone said.
I would have thought that was quite enough for a Mini-ITX + one disk.
My ancient PIII system, 
with 3 disks (including 300MB SCSI and 250MB IDE drives)
and no care taken about power consumption, only takes 80-90 watts,
even at startup.
This system has 2 fans (CPU and box) and a 250 watt PSU.

I'm interested in a system running off 240 volts, not an in-car system.
Wouldn't something like the fanless VIA EPIA EN12000E
with a low-power laptop disk (maybe 100-150GB) do the job?

I'm surprised how little discussion of what I would have thought
was a common need - a low-power server - there seems to be.
