I'm using EPIA ITX motherboards, Serener GS-1 cases,
and a single SATA drive.    No fans.

Personally, I don't like the EPIA motherboards.   They aren't very  
reliable and
won't last very long.    But they do provide a 1.2 GHz processor,  
support a GB of
DRAM, onboard LAN, and provide 4 or more USB ports.

They tend to draw in the 16 - 18W range when idling.   I measured 20W  
average,
24W peak, while simultaneously copying a very large file on disk,  
encrypting a
large file, and slamming Squid over three mesh networks (active  
antennas)
simultaneously.
