There are many departments that don't even offer Master's level work (Ph.D. only)... so it depends... More often than not, there is very little support, at least in my experience.
Many times the department which you are working in offer some sort of assitantships - usually in the form of teaching or research that help out with tuition. Often, your whole tuition (or nearly all) is paid for by the school when you take these things up... it really depends on the school that you are going to. (UC Berkeley, I know provides a grad. student's entire tuition, at least in the Coll. of Chem.... but other ones I'm not particularly sure of).
Heck, if you have any contacts within any departments, go to them... they are usually getting rid of stuff, and may be willing to lend it to you (but remember that the stuff remains university property... selling it could really get you in trouble).
Yes, yes - mod me redundant... fine!.02c
I find most of the time that red LEDs are much more pleasing than those nasty blue LEDs all over consumer electronics stuff. I think the reason why so many manufacturers put those god awful things in is because it doesn't require any design work to make it "fit" (and think: 'lower costs, too!').
"Oh, we'll just use lots of blue LEDs and surround it with as much faux silver as we can... that'll make it look futuristic and cool!"
I was just reminded of the footnote (err.. was it a line... anyway) in Schwartz's Learning Perl: "... And along these lines of logic, every program could be reduced to a single line with a bug." I couldn't stop laughing when I read it, I instantly thought "Vista"...
