Check out: http://www.darter.com.tw/products/cpucard.html If you were willing to go with the previous generation of the hardware Stanford used, and be a bit larger (like the size to bolt to a 3.5" hard drive, then you can get the previous generation of the hardware for $299 (instead of $499). Of course, that includes video, instead of something useful like 10/100 or even more useful like USB/1394...
