Come to think of it, if you want to go the uber-route, PetCo has frequently put their 10 gallon Starter Kits on sale for $30 flat. I know it's on sale here, locally, so I'd assume it either is, or will be, on sale nationwide. It comes with a filter, hood, and two lights. Aside from having to cut the filter-setting yourself, it really is a good "set up right out of the box" kit.
