[Discuss-gnuradio] Alternates to USRP

[Karan Talasila]

Hi All,
         I have always loved working with USRP's by having two of them in college( USRP N210). Now that i am leaving college, I want to know if there's any cheap sdr receiver working on gnuradio that i can work on at home because i can't afford an USRP. I checked online and found these two.

Are these good enough. can any one in the group suggest better alternatives to work on?
