There is usually a big difference in idle draw btw 300W and 1,500W. So, if you can get away with 200W fanless, why not. Doesn't have to be PSW. The only thing that "might" object to MSW is a TV, some of them do and some don't. AC bricks of laptop and other small electronics work fine with 200W MSW @ $20 or 30.
If you don't use popular kitchen gadgets, it's doable on 150-200W. But, as soon as you plug your toaster in, or microwave, or coffee maker, your power needs jump abruptly to +1,000W. There is pretty much nothing in between - other than soldering iron ;)
