I've got some old equipment laying around and am contimplating making a driveless setup for an MP3/alarmclock/spare-cycle folding machine. I was planning on taking an old P4B(the original with sdr) and shoving in about a gig of ram. Then using either some USB thumbdrives or memory cards to hold a micro-linux kernal plus the software and MP3s. At startup the thumbdrives/memory cards would be loaded to a ramdisk for fast access times.

So maybe I should say going SS(Solid State) instead of driveless. Has anyone tried/heard about someone doing anything like this before. Thanks for any input/suggestions.
