The WRT-54GL looks to be running about $65 via online retailers.  The
Belkin F5D7230-4 is also supported by DD-WRT and is running about $35 at
CompuUSA (here in the Springs).  The WET-style devices from Linksys are
only available online as far as I can tell and run about the same as
their routers.

Anyone used the F5D7230-4 w/DD-WRT?  I've used DD-WRT on the WRT54G's
before but haven't tried them on any other devices yet.
