A now defunct company in Australia "Sous Vide at Home" actually sold a PID controller that converted a basic rice cooker - it won't work with a fancy one - into a rough temp controlled water bath.
I have one. It actually works pretty well for a lot of things. The temp swing is a bit poor compared to other machines, about 2 degrees. But for the $120 I paid for it, it's pretty great.

I can only assume the prices have come down steeply; I bought mine (including the thermocouples) for around that much in 2007 (I think?), but that's now the price point for a circulator that's about as capable as the PolyScience Pro that I replaced the Auber with.

Their PID control is excellent. https://www.amazon.com/Dorkfood-Sous-Vide-Temperature-Controller-DSV/dp/B0088OTON4 https://www.amazon.com/Dorkfood-Sous-Vide-Temperature-Contro...
