So now I need a trainer

Can anyone recommend one for under $350. I am in Tennessee, US and yes I will order online. I realize I won't be able to get a "smart" trainer, but oh well. I will just have to add the ant+dongle thingy and a speed/cadence sensor.
IMHO this is the best non-smart fluid trainer on the market.

This version has a Bluetooth power-meter (which also gives you speed and cadence) attached for an extra $30:

But Zwift don't support Bluetooth, so that doesn't do you much good.
