It isn't available right now but this is the one I got:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856107036
It was $140 when I got mine (the N330 dual core version was +$20)
I added a 1GB DIMM from Crucial for $15
The 2 NICs I already had.

The system network boots so I didn't add any local storage (no hard drive
or optical drive).

The NICs I put in it are an Intel e1000 gig-e PCI card and an old SMC made
dual port DC21140 Tulip PCI card.  I haven't used the integrated Realtek
NIC.
