Find something online that is cheaper than this but has similar size (3220 tie points) Smaller boards are cheaper but a larger one is a much better investment. I have this one at home:

I also bought this following before but the rubber feet didn't stick so I had to get some double sticky tape. It's cheaper though. They also have jumper wires.
