I can share with you my measurements about power consumption for one of
these:
My machine is a VIA EPIA-V Mini-ITX with a VIA C3/EDEN EBGA Processor
('CentaurHauls' 1.0GHz). I have a very similar-looking case as the one
you linked to and of course a similar DC-DC power converter board inside.
When up and running Linux but otherwise idle it draws:
V: 115.5
A: .20
W: 14
VA: 23
PF: .62 (power factor)
When in the BIOS setup (which I consider to be running the CPU @ 100%) I
measured:
V: 115.6
A: .35
W: 24
VA: 40
PF: .61 (power factor)
These were measured using a P3 Killawatt. The PC had only a CF card as
storage, and the PCI slot was unpopulated. The only fan was a 4cm fan on
the CPU. RAM was 1 stick of ??? MB.
The 'wall wart' power supply had these specs:
Manufacturer: www.sr-power.com.tw (now called?: www.srpower.com.tw)
Model: BW6012
Input: AC 100-240V 1.8A
Output: 12-14V 5-4.28A
These little mobo's, they /are/ very cute, eh?

Contrast this with conventional PC's (in firewall config with VGA card +
3 NIC's):
- a P1, underclocked, that goes down to about 20W,
- a P3-733, underclocked to 366MHz, that goes down to about 25W
Have fun!
