PC104.
I especially like the New Micros Inc products. They start at as little as
$40 for a 8051 based system. You'll need to build a power supply (about
$10 and 15 minutes with a soldering iron) and a I/O cables (another $10
and 15 minutes). Comes with monitor, asssembler, BASIC, C, and Forth
support.

Another company I'm a major fan of is EMJ,
