korg electribe esx is a cool sampler with 909 style step sequening. easy to use and instant fun.
both can be got pretty cheap second hand on adverts.ie and such sites. check out youtube for vids
If your looking for a good sampler on a budget go for Akai S-900 or S950, ye can use a midi pad bank then to trigger the samplesa after you have cut them. there nice aswell cause ye can choose your sample rate when you bouncing them in, the 950 also has time strech function which is nice for extending small hit.

I'd go for something like the MPC or a software solution over an 808 or 909 clone. Those old sounds are great, don't get me wrong, but you're really limiting yourself to something that's been done and done and done again for the last 30 years. There's far more scope for experimentation when you can pick and choose your samples and edit them too, plus you can pick up a bunch of 808/909/DMX/CR78 samples and throw them in should you feel the need :) (do I hear an analog/digital debate coming...?)
