low-power

I am looking for a low power, low end pc able to run 24/7 without overheating and a way to support it in case of power failure. Power failures can be up to 72 hours.

The pc dosen't need a monitor or keyboard. A modem must also be protected in case of power failure.

When i say low end, i don't mean crap. The cpu needs to be x86 and have at least 1k cpu in this chart: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/index.php

What's the best way to do this?
