I'm looking for the most inexpensive android phone/tablet/etc. that supports USB OTG. I plan on using it as a low-power dedicated server, and a cheap android device would be perfect because of the integrated screen, wifi, and storage (if support usb otg). Most of the cheaper devices I've come across don't seem to support external USB devices. Does anyone know of one that does?

Just bought my mom a $70 tablet from Walmart (Proscan) and supports USB OTG. Hell, even came with the appropriate cable. It's also Google Play certified.
Proscan 7" LED Google Certified Android
Screen isn't the clearest, but it does the job well enough. Mainly got it to see if she'd actually get use out of a tablet before investing in a better one.

That might be a good option, thanks for posting that. I also just found this one for $38 but I'm not sure if it supports USB OTG: Mach Speed Trio 4.3 - Mach Speed Trio 43 Mid 40C Trio 43 Mid Android Mobile Internet Device Tablet | eBay
OP if you're going to one of these cheapies, get it from Walmart rather than Ebay. That way you have full consumer protection if it doesn't turn out to be what you expected or if it's duff.
