if you look on Craigslist you can sometimes run into someone selling a complete system that they didn't use or selling a used system that they no longer want for some reason. But at any rate some good deals to be had. Or just make your own!!! 
I'd probably use copper. Because of our climate CPVC and PEX are not strong enough and I think it will leak.
So probably under 1000 bucks you could get a decent setup from home depot. Some copper tubes 90's and T's. Material for a box/Black paint/insulation and some double pane glass or maybe a used slider off of craigslist. of course you'll need a tank and a few other things like a check valve etc...etc... not hard to learn how to solder copper. Just up the joint and the solder will get sucked in.
