Maplin have a starter kit, inc. Pi @ £60. Farnell is your best bet for board only.

Raspberry Pi + WiFi card that supports Master mode (and Air tools installed) and a battery pack = a portable WiFi disconnector.
Fun times.

Got frustrated with the Pi last night. Finally got around tt having a proper dabble and set up the WiFi. Got the drivers installed and Gnome Network Manager working. Could see my wireless network in the list but got frustrated when I kept getting "Not authorised to manage the network" errors when attempting to join. It was late so I gave up.
Must be something to do with admin permissions. Id expect that it is something simple.

Run network-manager as root.
Yep, thought it would be something simple like that just wasn't sure how to do it there and then and gave up instead
. I'll have a look when I find more time! Cheers. 
Gents - maybe you can help as my google fu is not helping. I've been googling for ages on how to mount my usb drive as read/writeable on raspbian for all users. Or just 'pi' but everytime I try I cannot mount it writeable, only read only.
Any ideas on what I need to type in terminal to get it to mount? Ideally I'd like to mount it in /home/pi/ somewhere as I've got samba configured to play nicely like that.
edit - figured it... logged in as root and chmod'd the drive.

... and very good they are to... I have one also!
I am sure you will have realised by now that the top layer should in fact be 'clear', and there is a thin protective film of plastic which has to be peeled off this, as well as most of the other layers, first.
If you don't do that then the screws appear to be too short... but of course you knew that anyway!
Errmm...
That's 'nice'.
I'm thinking of housing mine in one of these:
A couple of the sponge fingers pop off for USB and SD connection etc.
