I got this one the other day:

It's just a simple CAN<->SPI interface without any smarts but was cheaper than buying the ICs by themselves.
I've got a few projects in mind for it already

Looks almost identical to he sparkfun one. I literally maintained the same schematic.. but compressed it down to a mini size

I just got into CAN recently, I ordered a CANtact to play with. I'm interested in low level control, and anything on the low side bus. I been looking at GoodThopter too, never tried either one yet. Forbes had a nice write up the other day on CANtact though. http://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrews ... 0-dollars/
