Mini-ITX system to control X10 environment

In order to run some of the more complex commands for the home automation system, I needed a more robust solution than running the X10 software in VMWare. That said, I picked up this hardware a long time ago for a different project, and will be putting it to use here. Here are the specs and part numbers: 1. M350 Universal Mini-ITX enclosure
2. M350 wall mounting bracket
3. Intel D945GSEJT mini-ITX * Intel Atom 270 @ 1x 1.60GHz * 3 rear USB, 4 on-board * VGA, DVI and LVDSl - YES Support for TWO DISPLAYS on-board! * 1 x SODIMM (DDR2), up to 2Gb * 1 x 1x 10/100/1000 Mbit LAN * Realtek High Definition Audio * 1SATA, 1 PATA * miniPCI-E * PCI * Power: 12V on-board
4. 2GB DDR2 SODIMM
5. 802.11 b/g PCI-E wireless card
6. PCI Riser card
7. picoPSU-150-XT, 102W Power Kit

This motherboard will run on much less power.

Im running it on 30W on my build.
