Best of the dirt cheap hosts?

I'm putting up a site as a gag for me and my buddies. Uptime isn't crucially important, I'd just like to get the best possible host for the money. Any suggestions? My main site is on a reputeable host with 24/7 customer support, I'm just looking for something for me and the buddies to post on and share files and such..

Dixie Sys is still my fav. AT used to be crazy over them 3 or so years ago but I'm still with them because any shortcoming they may have is outdone by their customer service. near 24/7 staffed IRC room for help, phone line, support tickets, helpdesk and FAQs, forums and even more FAQ's there plus its not unusual to have a chat with the big boss Gary on the forums/IRC.

And before someone pops in to say Dreamhost, let me say that their customer service sucks. I bought an account from them, got a reciept of payment from them via email, and thats it. I'd tried logging in to get started and the control panel said my account was "pending" for 24 hours with zero explanations even though my money already went through. Help Desk Tickets are replied to slow as hell too. No company should ever have more than a thousand support tickets awaiting response like they did last week.
 
There's a thread in hot deals right now...dreamhost 1 year for $10. Doesn't get any cheaper. 4.8gb storage/120gb transfer
 
I use the $3.95 / mo. plan at Dixiesys. I have been a customer of theirs for years and they have been awesome.
 
Ive been using DixieSys ($3.95/mo, 400MB space, 2 GB transfer I think) fror the past couple of years, am fairly happy with their service
 
HostPC is good... and they have a special now where all the specs on the services are doubled for as long as you keep the account in good standing (so it's a 10gb transfer, it doubles to 20gb)
