What else is out there similar to the small form factor SN41G2 ?

I read Anand Tech's review of the SN41G2 ( http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1764&p=1 ) and was interested in creating an audio editing station out of one of these (portability and small profile means they could be integrated into sound systems without the "its a huge computer!" reaction...

I noticed that it had a 200watt ps, would this support 2 hd's? Probably a 40 or 60 GB for applications and buffering and a 120GB for audio storage. I would also use a CD burner and would need to add one of these PCI cards (or similar): http://www.m-audio.com/products/m-audio/delta44.php and all other audio would be via firewire (mLAN). I am slightly concerned that this power supply simply doesn't have enough juice!


Also, can a DVI LCD be used with this? I noticed VGA out only unless there is an included adapter..

Well I'm just investigating options in the small form factor realm so feel free to point me towards more options out there. Thank you.

Glad to know my reckless slogging through random SFF data could help out. :D
Still haven't decided on the perfect unit yet.... I'd be all set with that spiffy Microstar machine w/ 2PCI if that one small, nagging part of me could just let go of wanting an AGP video card! :confused:
