A hackable NAS for $30...if you don't mind it being pink:

Pogoplug Multimedia Sharing Device - Classic, Pink - POGO-B01
http://www.buy.com/prod/pogoplug-multimedia-sharing-device-classic-pink/219855865.html

Requires a USB (2.0 supported) drive for storage, and has a GB Ethernet
interface.

(I'm assuming, but have not confirmed, that this model runs Linux and is
hackable as other Pogoplug models have been. Here a 2009-era article
discusses what's inside:
http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2009/120709-gearhead.html

"...inside the Pogoplug is a 1.2GHz Marvell ARM SOC RISC processor and
256MB of RAM and 512MB of internal flash storage. On this neat little
package runs a stripped-down Linux distro with the 2.6.22.18 kernel."
Basically a Shivaplug for $30.)
