First off, I already did something like this.

Second, You don't need that GPU.

Third, You didn't put any effort into this... I could find a much cheaper computer... And 480 watts?!!?!?!??!?!!? ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?!?!??!

My calculator, with 8-bit display and probably 8-bit memory, and 1.5 V button cell battery power supply is cheaper at only $10. My UPS is a solar panel. Oh yeah.
