Several of us have what is really the
cheapest PC linked option. This is the Watson W-8681 range badged under
several other names and made in China by Fine Offset.(Often sold by
Maplins and on Ebay (new). Costs about £70 for console, wind, rain,
humidity, temperature and pressure. Connects via USB and comes with
average software but is great with the free (donation ware) Cumulus
software. Don't think there is any Linux software. Latest model costs
about £95 but adds UV solar measurement.

Not sure if this is the latest model but CPC do the W-8681 for £78
