The Nivo is a new 'ultra thin' client device under development by British, not-for-profit organization Ndiyo. Its principle intended market is developing nations and the project is based upon a non-profit model. The aim of the project is to create hardware and software that can lower both financial and technical skill cost of computer service provision.

You are overestimating by far!
I have measured my computer with 160 W peak and 140W idle.
The machine contains:
1.4GHz AMD Athlon
500 MB RAM
2 Hard drives, 30 + 80 GB
Network card
Old graphic card (without any cooling device)
TV tuner card
sound card
so if he uses some old P3 with 300 MHz without hard drives and graphic card I would be astounded if it sucked up more than 60W.

noise and heat are not an issue. its a doctor's office and the systems are in exam rooms, but they are locked in cabinets so they can't be accessed by the patients. as for power, i don't know. i disconnected the hds and cd drives. all the systems are p3s and only have a video card, ram, ethernet card, and floppy drive to boot from.
