There's no such thing as good + cheap when it comes to stock photos. Just cough up on one of the two big boys reserves:

For more specialist stuff I've found it's a better use of time to just do your own graphics than spend ages trawling through photo and clipart sites, but when it comes down to it I've used bigstockphoto for lots of generic things over the past few years and it's quite good and shouldn't break the bank.

I agree, for actual stock photos they are good but the graphics are best done yourself, unless you need a big pack of themed icons. It also depends how good your photoshop/illustrator skills are.
