What price range are you looking at? I would imagine this will work:

I have seen them as low as $90

Unless you have parts on hand a diy solution may be just as much. But you

Stay away from anything that requires a pre etched board or the price goes
up fast. This kit for example does less and costs more by the time you add
the case.
