It all depends on what you NEED the box to do.
If all you want to do is ssh into a NAS get a netbook or even the Asus
desktop that mounts behind a monitor and a NAS. IF you want the biggest

I've been replacing desktop computers for a lot of people with Atom-based
nettops running Linux lately.
The dual-core Atom chips (original 330, or the new D510) are absolutely
wonderful for general day-to-day tasks.

I've had really good luck with a Tyan motherboard. No BS, 3.2 years, just
Generally speaking thats accurate. However, most power supplies have a
nonlinear efficiency curve. using a 350W supply at 90% may be less hot than
using a 700W supply at 45%. This is very dependent on the supply.
Additionally, power supplies vent directly to the outside of a case,

A 750w power supply won't put out a lot of heat unless you USE all
750w. If you put in low-powered parts, the 750 will be barely ticking
along - which means less heat, not more.
Suck 350w out of a 350w power supply and you'll get more heat than you
would out of the same parts and a 750w supply.
