Here are all the common choices: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...3p?&C=CKE&P=ML
So ~170 for the lowest-cost Novak or ~210 for the mamba, shop around.

Surely not for a system. Ya'll need another $20 for a low-end ESC.

You can get one for free. There's a brushless motor and controller in every hard drive.

What do you mean how does it work? I.E. How to utilise it in a car? Well, they only put out 7200 RPM anyways at full operating voltage (5V) to spin a few platters not weighing that much. So unless you plan to put it in, say, a Micro T, it's not worth your time.

Even cheaper... Most fans have brushless motors in them.

Not really, Some people buy stuff and arent impressed and practically give it away.
