I've used the Graphire2 model for a few years now, great hardware and I paid only $100. Of course with the Graphires, you draw with the pad and pen on the desk, looking up at your monitor. Works great.

There are models that you can draw right on the screen, which can lay down or stand up. These are the Wacom "Cintiq" brand (also on the site Serval linked) but they are hugely expensive.
