I've discussed a few ideas similar to this with Wad -- he's the man to
talk to about hw. Definitely possible, and definitely too complex /
hard to get into at the moment. We might find an opportunity to do it,
but right now there are more immediate things to do.

And at the end of the day, you just remove the damn PCI card and
voila! Even if you soldered to the MB, thieves can scavenge HD and
other bits.

There are enough distractions as it is -- let's focus on things we can
do *right now* so we move from opinions to actions. There is a ton of
low-hanging fruit on the XS track, (for example, have a look at the
moodle plan in the wiki) -- it'll be great if you could lend us a
hand.

cheers,
