You are probably thinking of the eVectra like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d [...] 102138997.
I have not used them but the guy in the cubicle next to me has several he buys
off eBay for $100 or less.
The main issue with these is expandability. I do not believe you can add
anything beyond memory inside the box. It is probably possible to upgrade to a
larger hard drive, but for the most part what you buy is what you get.
