I'm just wondering while we're on the subject of low power hardware, has 
anybody here had an opportunity to play with one of these?

What I really like about this one is that it does away with the ATX power 
supply. I reckon in my unit at home, the power supply is wasting nearly as 
much power as the motherboard is using.
