I'm about to do the same thing as Dan (IPC+new HD+Debian) with two IPCs. 
Couldn't get anywhere trying to boot Linux on a very old IBM RS/6000 40p 
lacking any OS, so the IBM will donate its 500M + 1G drives to a pair of IPCs. 
 (Is this a cross species organ transplant? :^) )

Wouldn't heat be a major limiting factor in the itty-bitty IPC box?
