Alternatively, pick up an old Pentium computer, and use that.  My old
dual celeron server pulled on average just 56 watts, and that was with
4 hard drives installed.  So a single processor, with one HD should be
a lot less!  Couple that with Wake-On-Lan, and the yearly power
consumption will be very low.

I'm now using an old dual PIII (2x1Ghz) linux box, with RAID1, and it
uses 1.77Kw a day.  Don't assume a computer with a 300w PSU is going to
draw anything like that.
