SunExpress sells the MGX+ which is made by Southland Media. It's a
single-slot 24-bit colour frame buffer which supports up to 1280 x 1024. I
don't know the price (since I'm in Australia), but it's well under
US$1000, and it's the cheapest that I know of.

You can also buy the card from Southland themselves (I think). Check out
their web site (http://www.slmedia.com) and have a look at the specs for
the card to make sure it fits your requirements.

Regards,

Craig.
