Hi
A good alternative to wireless is the Powerline option that you can find here
Its slightly over your budget but it is excellent if you have two desktops. You will need two of the adaptors and a router and it is simplicity itself to set up

Will either machine beclose to the router? Can connect 1 with rj45 cable and the usb adaptor.
If not you will need an additional usb adaptor or pci card.
I have each pc on usb adaptors with the router at the front door.
