Power supplies don't have to be monstrously large, especially if you're
going to run a low power system (micro motherboard, VIA C3 CPU, no
CD-ROM, no power-hungry 3D graphics card, etc) so you could use one of
the titchy little units designed to go in 1RU rack mount cases, or in
the little aluminium cube computers from Shuttle.

That way you could build a complete computer about the size of a
shoebox, with very small power requirements.
