catching up on email and found this.  One thought:  Arduino or raspberry pi's GPIO ports.  Depending what you're doing, raspi in particular might be a reasonable option...

Searching on Ebay, I found all the X10 parts for around $60.  But then I did some more searching and found several sellers that have just the relay boards.  The project I'm thinking of would probably be well suited for a dual relay board.
