Have you considered a low power, always on master backend with no

Aren't the hard drives the biggest power consumers?

Not THE biggest, usually 2nd or 3rd (depending on your other components) and that's only when they're spun up, I'd suggest having your /myth and /cache on big desktop drives set to spin down when not in use and the rest on either a laptop drive or a CF card.
