Suggest hardware

The EMS board is basically what I was looking for. I only wish it had a spot for a 7805, but I can use one of the prototyping areas.

Actually what I was looking for was something like the EMS board, with a 7805, crystal and 6-pin header already installed.

The Boarduino type boards are worthless, because they are really designed to stick into a breadboard. If you want to mount the thing in a project, there's no great way to mount it and it's very cramped.
