THAT is a tough requirement.


I was going to recommend the Alix boards.  they run pfSense really 
nicely, and should be able to run a stripped down centos install OK.    
with pfSense, you can boot from a CF card, so no HD at all.

The Alix cards use a 433-500Mhz AMD Geode ultra-low power processor, on 
a 6x6 card.  they use 5 watts fully configured.

but, 100Mbit/sec SSL encryption, ouch.    don't know.   you'd probably 
have to benchmark that.
