for a cheap way, if you can buil a unit yourself, you may take a look at the 
ad-interface i made. http://mamalala.de/files/electronic.html

it hooks to the parport of your pc, has plenty of channels if you want, and 
either 8, 10 or 12 bit resolution. olaf matthes ported the driver to pd.

if you simply need something to detect a on/off state, you can use the parport 
directly. its pretty simply, just a few wires and resistors, i can help you 
on that if you want.

greets,
