ebay. seriously. ebay.
I got lucky and won the ipaq itself for probably less than it would have
cost me to order and pay tax & shipping.  And it won't take me more than a
week to receive. :)  Notice I waited until after Christmas to buy it though,
hehe.

The CF jackets are going for about 40-50, but the PC Card jackets are
inflated to around 200 when they should only cost 150.

Ebay has some new 1G microdrives with travel kit going for a bit over $200
(with a day of bidding yet to come).  I remember paying that much for a 32M
CF card years ago. :(  Even the ~$450 list price seems reasonable, though a
bit more than I want to shell out right now.

I can't wait to check out the stuff you've worked on, though I'm quite
frightened of dealing with flashing my ipaq rom. :)
