Learning Spanish!

I'm trying to re-learn Spanish!
I had a real shitty experience trying to learn it in high school, with some real garbage teachers just coasting through to cash a paycheck, but since I play spanish-style (i.e. "flamenco") guitar and have a rather large latin community (both back home in Texas and a large core group at my school), i'd like to give it another shot.
I know the fastest way to learn it is to throw yourself into the wolves den by chatting with other spanish speakers, but in the mean time i'm looking for a good audio/computer program that I can practice with a little each day in between class breaks or on the side of my school work.
I also need to save some green, so nothing too expensive please!
What is the best spanish teaching program/book/whatever on the market today? Something that I can invest a little bit of time in each day that will make huge strides in my learning and speaking skills?
Help me out H/A!

Here's his website, which seems to be pretty rubbish at actually selling the CDs - I found them on Amazon for significantly less than his UK site sells them for.
I know at least one of my friends really hated the way the CDs are done, so I recommend going here and downloading the free sample, which I think is the first disk of the set to see how you get on with it.
I have read some good reviews of this book:

And these ones:

Rosetta stone is good, but very expensive.
Spanish is all about grammar, specifically verb conjugation. Get those down and you'll be speaking perfect Spanish in no time.
Also, if you have any doubts I'm available at the AC!
