USB barcode scanners can be had for around $39, but you're not guaranteed something that can read barcodes easily. Check out nextag.com for barcode scanners and you'll usually find some incredibly cheap scanners.

Opticon is set to release an OPN2002 in the states sometime soon that does both batch and bluetooth scanning and should be a relatively cheap option. The big problem with most BlueTooth scanners on the market is the low cost (sub $300) run in serial port profile mode as opposed to HID mode.
http://www.posguys.com/barcode-scanner_3/ has more info if you're interested.
Looks like a rebadged Opticon OPN2001. Which can be had for about 120 dollars from most point of sale retailers. The software is pretty cool since the scanner only stores barcode and timestamp data.

Symbol had the MC70 out in the wild prior to the Motorola purchase. If you'd like to see something more recent, check out their MC35. It's less rugged but has similar specs to the MC70.
It has a touchscreen, units come with a 1D or 2D barcode imager if you so desire. It's also a pretty beefy; you'd look like you have a tumor or gigantic package if you threw it in a pocket. The extended battery makes it about 2-3 inches thick.
I love this game, such fun with the yelling over live and exploding & such.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
