I'm probably too picky because that particular combination of attributes seems difficult to find.
I did some quick googling and found the Soma Mini Front Rack seems commonly available in the $20-$30 dollar range online. No experience with it, but Soma stuff is usually good. Also most bike shops should be able to order it up, or potentially have some in stock.
