Building a dark room isnt too bad or expensive. You will need to add some plumbing, lights, maybe run some more electrical outlets, and make sure all the walls/windows/doors are COMPLETLY sealed with no light coming in. It will also need to be temp controlled (as in, dont build this in your attic or basement that is not connected to your central/heating cooling system, and you may want to add thermostats in the room so you know what the temp is.. the film chemical and paper are all sensitive to temp.)

You can often get very good used equip if you check local auction sites. I have actually seen some good equip coming from the schools as they upgrade to new eqip or digital(becareful when buying used though, because especially coming from the schools they may have a lot of use or damage.)

The above mentioned site is good as well.

Black and white is easier to do and better to start with. Color gets a lil more picky and specific.
