I am considering the 17" iMac, which is basically a laptop on a stand. SilentPCReview did a review of the older Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) model and the most wattage they could get it to pull was 73 watts, and that was running Windows with 2 x CPUBurn and a ATI Tool stressing the video card.
Another option might be to build a PC with AMD's new 65nm Athlon X2 CPUs, a motherboard with a built in GPU, a 7200rpm laptop drive, and LCD screen. You'd think that would be fairly miserly.
talks about Forensic Toolkits and how they will go through your hard drive, sector by sector, because Windows "memory management leaves data all over the place in the normal course of operations".
It is an interesting article, and the comments are worth reading too.
"It isn't also dumb- it's just a scientific explaination for a religious phenomenon. No different than evolution and the Book of Genesis- only idiots claim that they are incompatible with one another."
Considering the Bible is a work of fiction and the evolution is scientific theory, I don't see them being very compatible at all.
On my personal Arch Linux system at home, I prefer to simply backup my home directory and the xorg.conf configuration file. Linux is fast and easy to reinstall (at least Arch and Slackware is), so I don't really worry about bare metal recovery.
Windows, which I also like to run, takes forever to install and is far more likely to have problems. That's where I am interested in bare metal recovery.

TrueCrypt is a great program but it might not be enough. I don't know what changes were made to Vista, but this entry on Bruce Schneier's weblog:
