Er... that's it! Add in some memory and you're pretty much ready to go.
I put a hard drive in mine (5400rpm to reduce heat in a fanless system)
because it's at my parents house, and I can use it for remote backups.
But you could equally use CF storage, or go the diskless route and boot
from the network.
