Default Newbie Question: PC Based Oscilloscopes

I haven't touched RF test and measurement equipment for about 20 years.
Back then I used a standard 50MHz dual trace scope. I want to get
back into homebrewing, and was wondering whether anyone could advise me
on buying PC based 'scopes. Do they have the same "look and feel" as a
dedicated 'scope?

There appear to be many such PC based scopes (e.g. Vellman), I was
wondering what homebrewers would advise, given the "average" budget
(not 10,000 Dollars + !!). Something with a pretty good Spectrum
Analyser built in?

Or would I be better off going to Ebay and buying an old dual trace
scope for 100 Euros or so?

Advice anyone?
