perhaps an SK-7 ($20 at NewEgg) coupled with a Sunon 80mm ($6) ?

Barton's run pretty cool. My Barton 2500+ is overclocked to 2.1GHz with an alpha 8045 paird up with a Vantec Stealth and runs 39 - 41 degrees idle and about 44 under full load. SK7 with a 25-30cfm fan will do nicely.

My Barton 2500+ (OC to 2.14 GHz) runs ~39 idle and I haven't seen it over ~42 under full load for hours. My case stays ~27-28 usually. I have a Tt Volcano 7+ on the middle setting. I think you can get one for around $25 shipped.

EDIT: If you want cheap, just stick with the stock HSF. Monitor your temps and if it runs too hot for your liking then upgrade. The new HSF have much thinner fins than old XP's.
