Oh baby, I'm really loving those nano-itx boards! How many ma/hr do you think one of those would roughly draw by themselves? Without HDD, CD-ROM, etc.. You know they make bootable thumb drives now for newer PC bios. So you could have a system without a HDD then.

I think the mini itx boards draw around 10 watts, so I'd think the nano itx boards would be between 7 and 10 watts too.

Didn't Andre Lamothe design a homebrew game console a while ago?

You would probably be better off getting something like this http://www.xgamestation.com/ and playing around with it a bit before you try making one from scratch.
um.. yeah, I'm an idiot. I was thinking of this.
