Amazon has a deal with SMC running now where you can get a $40 mail in rebate if you buy the SMC 7004AWBR, so including the rebate it is just under $100. That's a really good deal, with a lot of features for the price... you can even get free shipping on it.

There is a link there to the mail in rebate so it can be printed out. I just ordered it myself so I don't know how it works yet, but what I've read it is a good WAP. Maybe someone else on the list can elaborate on it's usage...
