150W is a lot. I had Pentium Dual Core E5200 and NV 8800GS, 4GB RAM, 2 HDDs and an optical drive. Both the CPU and GPU moderately overclocked and it took about 120W at load at the power socket. That was with 80+ Seasonic PSU, so I guess with Pico PSU with high efficiency it could be around 100W.
Based on this I would say any dual core system with a single graphics card would happily work with 150W of power. There are also 45W quadcores out there, which would work too, I'm sure. Midrange CPUs are actually getting more and more power efficient. The problem could be with GPUs where the delta between idle and load is widening. But something like AMD 5770 (5650/70 or whatever's coming out...) should be ok and they have great power/performance ratio.
I don't have experience with other than x86 architectures as far as power consumption goes.
Edit: considering that you're limited to low profile graphics cards, I would say that the power consumption is not a concern at all. With a LP GPU, you can have a quadcore with numerous drives and PCI cards and still be easily under 150W.
