The tank and chemicals cost me less then $100.00. At the lab I used, each frame cost about $0.50 to develope and scan (roll of 24 cost about 12 bucks). So, it will take 9 rolls of 24 to cover my initial costs. If I want to cover the cost of my scanner, I need to go through another 15 roles or so. I expect I will have covered my costs in the next three months.
Look around for an enlarger, trays and you're all setup to do your own B&&W prints and some filters if they're not built in.
