Depends on how many gigabit ports you want. I wanted five, so it pulls about 20W idle and 45W max. If you can survive with 2 and a WLAN, you can get down to about 5W idle and 25W max. Nothing is as small as custom non-PC hardware. However, I think mine is reasonably small and you can go to a NUC size for 2 gigabit ports.
