Lots of useful information on the NSLU2 can be found at:

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/

They run around about $80-$100 or so, and you can hook a hub onto the
back of them.  In fact, it's a full blown USB host controller on there.
A few enterprising hackers even are running WinTV PVR-USBs off it.
Kinda cool to have such a small little box recording TV for you.
