    i got it to 29 watts, even with a Lenovo wireless mini keyboard plugged in (but without my new Diamond USB soundcard plugged in)! woot!

    it probably can be gotten well under 29 watts even with a 3rd party soundcard with an SSD and probably 1.25v DDR3L ... a picoPSU might help a lot, too!

    That's a pretty sweet power envelope! Not much cabinet heat in 29 watts.

    I also have a BR laptop with Media Center that I use for Netflix, but as I've said I'd really like to build an HTPC/PVR for a more permanent installation.

    What kind of HDD are you currently running?
