If I were to make something like a HTPC but don't want to go out and buy a HDD, would it be possible to make a sizable thumb drive into the boot drive to install the OS on and another for storage?

If so, how?

CPU: AMD FX 8320e | Mobo: Gigabyte GA‑78LMT‑USB3 | Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper n520 | RAM: 8Gb @ 1333MHz

 

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1060 mITX | PSU: Antec HCG 520w | Storage: Sandisk 120GB - WD Red 1TB | Case: Modded IBM A50 sleeper

Yes--especially if you're using something light like Linux.
