Do you absolutely require the server to actually be unplugged when not playing music? Is three watts low enough that you can leave it on all the time? A sheevaplug will run at about 3 watts, if you put SBS on it the server will be up and running just waiting for you to play music, no need for anything to boot up etc. You plug an external drive into the sheevaplug, you can either put music on it over the network or plug the drive into a PC to copy music. For the controller part it sounds like an iPad may be just right for you. There are at least two iPad apps now.
