Yeah that's not a bad one either. You'd get about 10 hours on an MP3 CD. 
And if you used one of those portable players, you could run the whole 
thing battery backed. The thing would just keep going through a power outage.

Viruses or spy-ware would hardly be a concern for a dedicated turn-key 
system. And if you really wanted to do it swish, you'd boot from a CF card 
and not a hard drive. Disable the fan in the PSU and it would be totally 
silent. Who cares if the PSU runs on the hot side (Which it probably won't) 
you can toss the thing when you're finished with it. Put a second PSU in it 
with a change over switch as a backup if you're really worried about it. 
And you can always pick a faster processor and "under-clock" it. :)

There's a family of them living down the road. 7 o'clock every morning it's 
"I can fly!!!!" Splat!
