Tiger direct and geeks.com too have really cheap deals that come up. I would check all three.
You might want to check NewEgg.com . They have had pretty good sales on Samsung computers.

Have you tried to look at the Samsung brand laptops? I've had really good success with them. No problems whatsoever.
My sister has a Samsung netbook, and she's always had issues with the battery. It actually died on her, and I had to replace the motherboard. Seems to be running great now, so maybe she had a dud, but there are always bad units in every batch, no matter what the brand.

You might think about getting a used netbook off of ebay. They are cheap as hell.
Any good brands you know of?

Do you have a mining rig that you are using right now?
as of now no, i stopped because i thought the shipments would unravel sooner then i thought.
This is what I ended up choosing, mostly cuz you could get the MK802, uSD card, USB hub, and ethernet adapter for under $75. Check it out:

I was just looking at these yesterday. It's known that they are based off linux, specifically Gentoo (due to it's ability to specialize your builds and adapt to just about any hardware). It also seems pretty trivial to install a more generic brand of Linux like Ubuntu onto an SD card, and boot off of that. Once you have Ubuntu, downloading dependencies and compiling CGMiner should be pretty straightforward.
The bigger issue seems to be spending $250 on a device to do this. There are other options (including ones that have a screen/keyboard) that can be had for cheaper than $250.

i was thinking about buying a RPI but there was a back order of 25k and not only that i did see these little mother boards that are almost $75-$120 that someone on BFL Forums talked to me about but if anyone else has an idea on what to use There BFL Products on lets spreed the possibilities for everyone!
