Ah, so you want to have your cake and eat it too!
What's more important? I mean that seriously. Your education or hobby?
Go to
www.hostforweb.com. You can great Linux hosting for $10 or $20/month. Since you have clients, they'll be footing the bill for it.
As for "media" you're referring to I can only imagine.
$500 can't be that hard to raise, can it? Do some computer consulting. Sell a bunch of stuff on eBay (I sold a bunch of crap that I never thought people would have bought and now I have $500 toward my own goal of a $2000 laptop; I'm selling one of my PC computers and a Mac G4 to get the rest of the money).
From my experience there are two ways to succeed in life:
1) Get formally educated and work hard and get paid
2) Get life experience educated and start a business
But in either case, sacrifices must be made and perseverence is critical.
