No. Linux supports booting from SATA.

IIRC, it's a USB connection, so the question is "Does Linux support
the VFD and IR" (To which, I think, the answer is "Yes, with LCDProc
and LIRC"

That DVD would fit fine, the only "Gotcha" would be that you'd need to
adjust the "Eject Button Presser" in the case, but that's a matter of
1 screw and a bit of lining up before you re-assemble.

I think that'll do you nicely.

I've heard no complaints.

I'm using one Myself (The same case, sans VFD, Socket A/AGP rather
than PCI-E, and twin PVR-250's) with no problems at all (Once I solved
the "Cheapo ASRock Motherboard/Crappy SiS AGP Implementation" problems
that you won't run into with this board).
