If your goal is low energy, then you need to forget about conventional
PCs and get some kind of home NAS such as a Buffalo Linkstation. Not
sure
about wake on lan support in these but if your reason to use wake on lan
is to save power, be aware that these small NAS devices use much less
power
than a regular PC anyway.
Of course, you haven't said what you want the box to do, and it may be
that
a NAS doesn't have the power for your needs, but if it does, it might
be your
answer.
