Yeah, I know! I realized it after I hit send, and there's no way to edit a
post to a mailing list!  And I managed to spell AD Adapter incorrectly!

So the case is like six bucks. But the AC Adapter is micro-USB so it's
almost free, if you're like me and have a million of them hanging around.
And the SD card might be way cheaper than I'm thinking -
http://forre.st/storage tells me that a 16GB SD card is about $8 on Newegg.

So let's call the Pi a roughly $50 Front End. :-)
