COMPUTING: Extremely low power x86 workstation

I am searching for a sub-50 Watt machine.

Must haves:

1) 8GB RAM, expandability is desired
2) 3 hard drives (1 boot + a mirror with software RAID 1)
3) Any power sipping x64 CPU (64 bits a must)
4) 256MB-1GB external GPU supporting dual LCDs (ATI preferred)

The CPU + motherboard + hard drives consumption should be less than 50 Watts. I love Atoms but I want more than 4GB memory. Budget is $500-800. Any Core 2 Duo, Core i5/i7, Phenom etc can go down to this level?

This machine has to be coming within 50 Watts period, the lower the better.

Intel Xeon L3406 is 30 W max TDP, rest of components will be near 50W more.
