cheap turbo trainers

i am thinking of getting a turbo trainer but i have no spare money after buying a bike, and all the kit.

so what is the cheapest turbo trainer i can get, any ideas, names or links

A couple of my mates brought the TACX Fortius VR trianers and hooked them up with computer, DVD's and all sorts! They spent about £500 each in the end, and get about as much use out of them as a chocolate firegaurd, because of all the messing around they do to get them going.
I on the other hand couldn't afford to join them at the time and got the TACX Satori for £135. I have found it to be a great piece of kit. Am sure you can get cheaper but it's at the lower end of the price scale and has 9 levels of resistance.
Don't forget the cost of a turbo tyre, etc, and sort the ipod tunes out?
am no expert though.

I got mine for £17 (new) from SJS cycles via ebay - don't spend a lot , sitting on a turbo trainer isn't as exciting as it looks !
