[Madlug] $25 Woot 8 Watt Linux Server

[Doug "SuperDuG" Smith`]

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/577277-REG/Seagate_ST903203FBA2E1_RK_320GB_FreeAgent_Go_Portable.html

Freeagent Go 320gb drive -- $69.99
Freeagent Go Dock -- $13.19

Ground Shipping $4.95

total -- 88.13


And it has multiple USB ports, so you don't even have to get the $70 drive

So $7 cheaper than root and 5 cents cheaper on shipping (also bhphoto 
will send it UPS ground, while woot will ship it Fedex Saver)
