Yeah...  I haven't got the manuals kicking about just now (or rather I 
do but I've got a ton of things to do before digging them out) but that 
sounds "doable".  Say 30 watts all in - about the same as a decent 
laptop.  A card with a bit more RAM, and maybe a PIC and a CF card to 
emulate MSCP, and it's done.

Just a little bigger footprint than my Libretto, too...
