    Hi I use a Wacom Graphire 2 which works fine and is in your price
    range. (And mine came packaged with Corel Painter Classic which is a
    nice little drawing/painting program) 

    But two things - first of all you need a computer and graphics
    program up to it and, most importantly - just how do you expect to
    convert freefrom designs into something a CAD package can use? If
    somebody else has to re-jig your designs into a 3-D package it could
    be v. labor intensive and thus expensive. Why not take the plunge and
    start designing in Rhino or something (see previous posts on CAD
    stuff)? And, generally speaking, a graphics tablet is little use with
    a CAD program. 

Anyhow good luck.
Jack Ogden
