AVR-Chat

There are a couple of nice places to go for AVR stuff.

http://www.bdmicro.com

Are my favorites for reasonably priced boards with very good hardware 
functionality and support libraries.  There are other places for 
ultra-low cost boards, but they tend to be little more than chips 
soldered onto breakout boards (lots and lots of pins, but no support 
devices.)
