If you're talking about a desktop computer case here then there's an 
easier way to do what you want which wouldn't require "boot from USB" 
capable hardware: IDE -> flash memory adapter

Here's one particular IDE -> CompactFlash adapter that I've personally 
used to make a custom OpenVPN router from an old PC running a mini-Linux 
distro:

They're relatively cheap, very easy to use as the flash memory then 
appears as a normal IDE drive to the motherboard, and it can be mounted in 
a drive bay so as to be easily accessible, or you could stuff it inside 
the case to not be accessible.

HTH,
Jason
