NBR: Rec your (inexpensive) flat iron

Does anyone have a good flat iron that's not like $100+ that they'd recommend? I have a random curl on the side of my head (appeared after I had Holly) which drives me bonkers. The hairdryer isn't cutting it anymore, so I'd like to have a flat iron to straighten it out, and maybe straighten all of my hair occasionally.
I don't need anything fancy, or for major daily use. Just a good, basic one would do the trick. Probably $40 or less. Any recs?

I have a Conair that has temperature control that my parents gave me a year or two ago. I doubt it was more than $40. I've really liked it and have never seen the need for a Chi or something equally expensive. (But, I'm just using it on wavy hair, not super curly!)
ETA: This is basically it, without the Swarovski crystals! (That totally jack up the price.)

I had an expensive one before and if I had crazy curly hair, would totally recommend spending the extra money. But I don't have crazy curly hair so when that one died i got a conair something...and it works just as well on my hair. It's like $20 or so I think at Target.

I have CRAZY CURLY hair!
& I only use the cheap irons. My Conair bit the bullet over vacay so I got a Remington that is temp controlled and I love it.
I also like the wide ones to tame more at once
The Chi's look to thin for me and wouldnt even begin to touch my beast of a head 
So go with the cheapos their just as good.
