Mini-Box.com has a power calculator for their small boards. They also have power supplies that are 24V and 90%+ efficiency. I have an older C3 Mini ITX with a 2.5" HD that they claim is less than 20W power consumption.

I'll need to get one of the DC power supplies and see if the power consumption is really as low as claimed.

Even if it is (which is entirely possible), you still have to add in a monitor, which for a standalone LCD is another 30-50 watts.
