If lucky then you might be able to find a nuc just around a $100.

the leap motion is just $80 (got mine for $55). Actually it's allot more stable then it looks and also the API is extremely simple to use, I was able to create a test app within 20 minutes after unboxing.

Beaglebone black - Faster and better then a raspberry pi, most people who are trying to run simple games on a pi will find this very useful. It can also be used as a media server stably.

Please review the Netatmo June when it comes out. I find it really interesting because I live in the Caribbean and would like to track my UV light exposure!!!

Hard drives

The moment I heard the word "fast" when you were showing the 16-slot charger, I instantly tought "oh, this is perhaps the one thing that's not good about this charger". i also have been using only eneloops for years and i agree they excel any other brand of batteries. As with any batteries, the slower you charge them (and also discharge them) that is, the lower the current thru them, the the longer they last. (in terms of life span in number of charge / discharge cicles, not hours of use). That said, i suggest you to feature the La Crosse BC-700 on the third video, which is the charging station (because it not only charges the batteries but also does a lot of cool stuff) I use with my eneloops and it costed me 32 bucks years ago on eBay.

This harddrive enclosure I have one and its the best thing ever (There is a newer one out which is the ZE400 but the touch capacity is flaky on it)

Following this, something might come in handy.

Definitely the Raspberry Pi. I installed XBMC on mine and it is fantastic in the living room as it can stream all the video content from my computer upstairs.
