Hi Joe
I have had my name down for one for ages now
I'm planning on doing the same thing. Integrating it into the Sean dd unit, hiding it up behind the dash. Can't wait to play

Still to wait 4 weeks for delivery Steve

Hopefully your number will come up soon!

I did the USB mod to the Ddin, i'm hoping the Pi can communicate through it.

see this thread for the mod.

I've got mine, had to get up and pre-order it at stupid o'clock, it's currently integrated into my home network but I did think how it could be used for ICE.

Did you buy an OS with it?
On an SD card?

No, I'd got some SD cards lying around so I just downloaded the Debian squeeze image from the rasp pi site and put it on a card.

Yes, it uses a micro-usb for power. It requires 5V (iirc) and any branded mobile phone charger (Sony, BlackBerry, HTC, etc.) would be ok.
