MAC Address Monitoring

Is there any software out there that will keep a database of all the MAC addresses currently on my network and then send me an email alert if one pops up that has not been seen before?

I need to see if someone plugs in an unrecognised machine, I don't really want to spend loads of money on a tool to do as it is pretty unlikely to happen in our small office but it is something we need to be aware of

We don't use Sophos AV so no NAC

Does 2008 server have NAC built in?

If I was to buy a single switch capable of doing 802.1x and plug my DHCP server into that would I be able to only assign IP address' to the devices I permit?
