I suggest a nettop box, with an Atom cpu. The entire computer is the size of two desktop harddrives. Ones i saw came with winXP, i think they couldn't run Vista, but some run some flavor of *nix. Price is $150usd and up. Power use is anywhere from 5 watts to 36 watts. They are not powerhouses, and aren't generally expandable, no changing the graphics card or adding a 2nd harddrive. They have all the standard i/o jacks tho. See:
