Im talking total power draw measured using a kill-a-watt. You figure in the ineffeciency of the PSU, HDD, and the mobo, you will see around 50 watts.

And the linux you get on any non x86 architecture has NO software support.

That's wrong. If you buy a Smarttop from Genesi there is a software support community at http://www.powerdeveloper.org/. Of course, if you're not interested in playing around with a new architecture, which will have issues that are not present on firmly established archs like x86, it's probably not for you.

And come on dude, do you really know all vendors of Linux ARM hardware well enough to say that none of them offer software support? It's a bold statement to make at least, and pretty much impossible to verify.
