We have a NIC sitting in the foyer of our office.  It's currently powered
off, doing nothing.  We got it for free from ThinkNIC when we inked the
beginings of a partnership deal a couple months ago.

I have a 5GB notebook hard drive that should be trivial to install (unplug
CD-ROM, plug in HD).  I'll bet any current Linux distro would run like a
champ, just considering what I've seen onthe CD.
