    I would pick up an SP-505, not strictly a drum machine, but a nice sampler with a good built in sequencer and should be under the $300 mark.

    if u like the sound of an 808, try a 606. very close to the sound, but cheaper by far.
    not really a sampler though, but u asked for a drummachine?

    If you have a laptop get an MPD or an M-audio joint. Then just bang beats with Abelton Live, Reason or Acid.
