I don't know about the power details, but we have used a fair
number of small desktop boxes (mini-ATX I think) with Atom
processors which are small, quiet, and low power.
Typically they need a low-profile NIC.
We have run various versions of CentOS back through 4 without
problems.

If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police,
the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the
government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.
