Thats what I'm using for a diskless box. Note that there have been some
cheapy boxes of this type floating about CHCH with dodgy PSUs and no
USB/Firewire connector in the front.

If you do get one REALLY cheap (i.e. known bad PSU) then it could be a
good move as the thermostatic fan on the PSU can get a bit noisy on a hot
day - I'm going to convert mine to a 12v inverter board as soon as I have
the cash with an external switchmode powerbrick.

I also found room (by hacking out the floppy slot) for a 20x2 LCD display,
the flap on the front still needs to have a clear window set into it for
maximum utility!!
