I recently installed FreeBSD on a system based on Intel's latest Atom
processor -- the so-called "Mount Olive" motherboard.  According to my
Kill-a-Watt meter, it maxes out at 25W.  

It's cheap (~$80 for the motherboard) and definitely a lot of fun, but
not much good as a space heater.  Good thing I live in the Pacific
Northwest, where we enjoy such a mild climate!
