I just picked up at OfficeMax an Argus DC3200 for $60-$10mailin rebate.
1.3 MegaPixel(1024x768), also has flash, timer, CF slot,USB,Tv-out.
Was unsucessful at getting SCSI-emulation/USB working, but I think
a cheap card-reader will do the trick.  Now to try and find a cheap
card reader that works with Linux :)

A card-reader will save on battery life, which is poor for
cameras I'm told.  When instructions say batteries may get warm
after use, I guess that means the thing sucks juice.  I'm told to
invest in good rechargable batteries.

The card-readers/writers take many forms from USB to
PCMCIA-adapters to IDE-adapters.  These are useful
for embedded, ran into a distribution(PeeWee Linux?)
that uses flash-cards and the IDE-adapters for a solid state system.
They also sound like a useful alternative to the dreaded floppy disks.

Speaking about inexpensive hardware, my HP 825c printer($50 officemax)
is working under Linux.  Its USB, comes with a color ink-cartridge,
you need to buy the optional black-cartridge.

Noticed some good deals on wireless-adapters at OfficeMax too.
D-link DWL-650 PCMCIA adapter($40), and DWL-520 PCI-card($50?).
Haven't started with the wireless thing yet, but I'm tempted.
