I picked up a 500GB Buffalo Linkstation for $69
Here it is:

It just appears in the left drive/device listing of the finder. Just set it and forget it, as they say.
The nice thing about that, aside from 'just working', is well it's Gigabit but the other nice thing is it has a USB port so you can add an additional USB2 external hard drive that it will also serve up to your network. So, get that for $68, and add a 1TB or 1.5TB ext USB2 and you're still within your budget.

AGAIN, mine works perfectly! That's all one can ask.
Another cool thing - put your iTunes library on it, and it will show up in all your iTunes on your network as a 'shared' library, as if another computer/itunes is sharing their library. Only works for audio. I can't figure out the video trickery. DLNA
