Hello all
I need to lean on the vast hardware knowledge of the group. I'm building a 
new system for a friend, and he has a few requirements that I've never 
dealt with before:
- - must boot off a USB drive
- - Connector for front-side case audio/usb
- - Support suspend-to-ram
- - Support wake-on-keypress from a usb keyboard

I'm actually going to be building 2 systems. He wants to be able to move 
the usb drive back and forth between the 2 boxes (2 different location) so 
instead of taking a whole computer with him, he just takes the boot drive 
(I know, he should get a laptop, but that's not an option). I see the new 
PhoenixBIOS supports booting off a USB drive, but few motherboard specs on 
the sales sites list that as a feature.

I'm looking at a small usb hard drive like this one from Archos:

Any recommendations welcome! TIA
