I did a little searching today, and found this:

http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards

I went ahead and ordered the SanDisk Ultra Class 10 128gb MicroSD card. Looks
like it will work as it was tested on Raspbian so I'm going to give it a shot
with ArchARM. If not, I'll send it back and get another. *shrug*

I'll connect a monitor to it, but 95% of the time it will be turned off as I'll
easily be able to ssh into it from my everyday workstation.

Haven't quite figured out the details of how I'm going to throw a system
together just yet, but I'll have plenty of time to tinker with it as there's no
emergency to replace my current system. Once it is all finalized though,
hopefully I can finally shut down this clunky oversized hardware for good and
start saving some money on my electric bill! :)

Regards,
Nick
