5 gallon bucket with an airstone bubbling away with fan blowing over the top of it. Think they call it the Lake Effect. ;)
 
Exarmy, the humidifier I use was super cheap--like $22. It cranks out a gallon of water every 12 hours, and the humidity is always high. I also live in the desert, and the grow room is in an air conditioned house. We have single digit humidity all summer. Before I got the humidifier, I just put a bowl of water near the grow and aimed my fan at the water, and it also worked very well. Good luck!
 
Exarmy, one more thing--I just cruised craigslist.com and found about 6 recent ads for humidifiers for sale in my community. There were in the $5-15 range. Check out Craigslist and you may find a humidifier close by and within your budget!
 
Thanks Mojave, Im not ina as much of a dessert (West Texas) but but if it works for you. And thanks for the heads up on craigslist. Im still going to have to wait till the first so i can get my shitty government paycheck.
