Hi, I can't comment on the AMD APU although it should be reasonable.
A 2nd gen intel core i5 does about 15W standby, and there are mini itx boards available. If you skip the i5 and use a core i3 that should shave you 2 cores of idle power and the higher clock should help throughput. The asus board I looked at had a pci-e x16 slot that could take a Intel Quad port PT. I am using Dell R310 servers with a Core i3 3.2Ghz at work. A quick test did 600mbit over iscsi. Should be able to push gigabit.
