I paid $350 inc shipping for the same Damn Small Machine (E-Box 3850) as Ron but without the internal flash drive. I had a 1GB pen drive lying around so I used that. My music was already on a network drive. You can actually buy an E-Box 3800 for $238 exc shipping from http://www.wdlsystems.com/ebox/ebox.shtml - it's even smaller but has no room for an internal drive.
