Well, sadly, you can't cheapo out of this that easily, barring someone
giving you an old PC, running Linux and using _it_ to share printers,
etc, using samba (for the PC) and netatalk or cap (for the mac) to set
up file service.

Even then you can't share the Mac's drive with the PC and vice versa.
Your choices are basically PC MacLan or Dave. I'd go with Dave,
personally.
