Your running on a budget and want to use your camera so, go with a HEQ5. Get yourself a 9 x 50 Finder scope, Qhy5 ccd for a guide camera, and a side by side plate to mount the camera and the finder scope to guide.

1000 for the mount
300 for the guider
another 100 - 200 to get the side by side + adaptor machined up.

That would be the best situation. there are short cuts and things you can change.
