Need a transport solution-Suggestions? PC based?

I recently bought a Bel Canto DAC2 (as many of you many have read). Now I need a transport that won't break the bank. Someone I considered buying the DAC from suggested a PC based transport. I've spent some time at my dealers, but I left feeling frustrated and fatigued. I know I love the Linn Ikemi as a transport, but that is out of my price range. Any suggestions on what to listen to? Anyone built a PC based transport?
