I would not recommend PSU rated at significantly higher wattage.

For motherboard: I've got Tyan S3115GM2N-B with 2x gigabit NIC and atom
onboard, which serves as
home file server & internet gateway (1 port WAN, 1 for LAN & gigabit switch
after it).
It has low power consumption and managed through IPMI - I can power on/off
remotely and have remote
console, even can reinstall/recover OS remotely.
Why don't you look for something similar? Of course, if you don't have some
sophisticated routing rules
which requires >=4 NICs.
