If you're going to store CC#, even if you encrypt them, make sure that
the machine goes into lockdown.  Close all unused ports, don't run any
software that you don't have too.  Don't connect it to any of your other 
boxes (those could be comprimised and then could connect to the CC box)
Also encrypt it with a password that is a string of random numbers and
letters.  Don't use regular words, backwards regular words, or words
with numbers after it.  There are programs that will crack those open 
in minutes.
Just my $0.02.
Also, if you're interested in just how much people that want to hack
into your system can actually do, a good place to start is...
