Startup  watts for the laptop drive I used in my new router was 4.5 watts.
You pay more for a laptop drive, but the power usage is certainly lower...as
is the max storage available on each drive.

I used a VIA C7 board at 1.2GHz with twin Gb NICs. During boot, the system
peaks at 35 watts. Have not run any numbers on throughput yet.

You can get a pretty decent server with a light appetite for power.
