You'll never build a Balloon for less. Ebay is a good hunting ground for such things - cast-off consumer gear is astonishingly cheap... Also, if you're looking for a PC, Balloon isn't ideal, without a lot of work - I'd hope you can find a cast-off PC locally that'll fit your needs better (as long as you don't need the low power features of Balloon).
