WHS 2011 or Win7 Server

I'm in search of building a WHS 2011 Server or Win 7 Pro Server for my home network. I'd like it to sip as little power as possible, but can you do this on a UPS?

I'm look at an Atom D525 MB or Fusion AMD E-350 APU. Seems like the AMD offers a better solution.

Asus Atom d525 - 4xSATAII $99

Asus Fusion AMD E-350 APU - 5xSATAIII $120

Power? Can I use a power brick? Does anyone know of a good solution for Powersupply/Power Brick?

Thanks,
-JC
 
PicoPSU is the 'common' powerbrick solution for 20-24pin ATX stuff

what do you mean 'can you do this on a UPS?'

I am running Server 08 R2, andam thinking of installing WHS vail as a VM to get access to some of the features.

I would go AMD as I think the fusion smokes the atom? I run a gigabyte 785G ultra durable 2 mobo and a AII 240, which are pretty power sippy, with an SSD and 2 storage drives I was idling at about 35w without really trying to undervolt

I have a 1000VA/600W CyberPower UPS unit plugged that I would plug this in to. Does this only pull what the PC is pulling?

Reviews show performance close and watts about the same too. For me either will do.

Newegg has this PowerBrick

I would run 4 1TB hard drives and an occational external USB DVD-ROM when needed.
