on the other end of the spectrum consider:

-> VIA C7 (w/Padlock RNGx2, AES, SHA, MontMult, NX) Everex StepNote
[0] 15.4" Widescreen Laptop
(for posterity, $398 refurb. / $468 retail)

add a Sony MicroVault USM-H [1] usb fob for your (physical & disk :)
key ring for loop-aes pass phrase protected storage with minimal
cumbersome-ness...


... of course, getting a nice bsd/linux full disk crypted os
provisioned is still annoying in nearly every distribution.  in this
sense, a rayservers service fee may be quite fiscally responsible
given your individual skills with software.  :)
