Doesn't a laptop fit the bill?

One of my Intel C2D acer laptop (2x2GHz, 3GB, 320GB)  reports ~10W while
running in powersaving mode, and around 15W at full speed. If one can turn
off some unnecessary hw (screen, USB, wireless etc) , and replacing HDD with
SSD , the power usage could probably drop further.

And you don't need to custom engineer anything.

Anand
