The BB5 brake will help keep you closer to your budget at $31:

New cable and housing for $1.99:

And a front wheel for $45:

Under $100 with shipping. I'd recommend having that wheel retensioned at a compentent LBS though.

For $30 more, you can get a Hayes hydraulic setup (comes with caliper, levers, prebled hoses, disc, but you may need an adapter for the fork mount).
