couple of little issues but seems to work well.
Make sure you have plenty RAM.
Still haven't got the Host Interface network working but Windows can

USB external hard drives are great - just plug them in and they appear
on your desktop.
Firewire is faster but I believe there are more issues with some
firewire cards being better than others.
Another option is estata which is faster still (transfer rate up to
3Gb / s - 6 times faster than US
Agreed, they usually "just work" as the usb storage standard is mature and
stable.
DSE have some at little more than the cost of the bare hard drive:

Installing vmware on 64 bit used to be a problem - you needed some 32

Hmm. The main board will consume about 10W (which is what you asked for).
But look what I found:

Isn't the Internet great!?
PC-104 devices are generally expensive. If you want something smaller try
nano-ITX or pico-ITX.
Thanks for the replies folks.
I've ordered a mini-itx M/B as it's cheap. I think it might be a bit too
power hungry, so if that fails PC104 modules will be the way I go from
