I'm in the US at least, but I understand where you're coming from. I can at least search for part numbers at a few places
I came across a Pico-ITX motherboard and case combo today that retails for $300 USD. It is the VIA ARTiGO and includes the VIA EPIA PX10000G motherboard It's a little pricey, but power draw is minimal -
one review of the motherboard noted 14W idle and 16W at full load.
I think it's going to take me a while to go through all of this. Keep the suggestions coming
