It is fairly inexpensive and easy to get set up for baby chicks. Items we needed:
Box
Plastic
Pine Shavings
Feed Tray
Waterer
Lightbulb
We got the cardboard box and plastic from the dumpster behind a grocery store. The feed tray and water dispenser we got from the feed store (total about $10), along with the pine shavings (you can get a huge bag for less than $10 - will last for months). We splurged and got an infrared heat lamp ($8), but a 100 watt light bulb will also do the trick. It probably took about 10 minutes to set the whole thing up. Pretty simple!
