Functionless Art is Merely Tolerated Vandalism
I have a headphone system that use and I find it to be the most useful setup for personal practice. I can practice whenever I want without disturbing anyone else in the house. I plug my laptop or mp3 player into the unit and off I go.
I am going to be getting a studio-in-a-box program for my laptop soon (havn't decided which one yet) that way I can record as well.

Between the computer programs (Cubase, Protools, Reaper etc.) and the self-contained units by Roland/Boss, Tascam, Korg, Zoom, there are so many to chose from and they will fit just about any budget.

Not cheap for a practice amp. I believe mine was $250ish. Tonsw of features though like built in tuner and effects as well as a built in drum machine with a bunch of different patterns. The built in metronome does 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4
GK MB200 should be on your radar. Very simple and powerful.
I've used mine for:
Practice with headphones
Practice with iPod in aux in
Practice/rehearsals at studios
Recordings without cabs
Clean guitar parts on recordings
Brought it as a backup for gigs

For $250 the very stalwart Fender Bronco 40.
For $300 the very new Fender Rumble 100.
For less than that = Brand new Rumble 40 at $180.
Pick one.
Love.
Enjoy.

Peavey Max 112 might suit your needs. I got one a few weeks ago and love it. Came in at around $235.00.
It's interesting how much the definition of "practice amp" can vary from one player to the next.
