Cheap or Free Downloadable CAD Programs

I was wondering if anyone has found any free downloadable CAD programs or a really cheap one. See, I'm 13 and just can't put out a lot of money.

Google Sketchup is pretty good... what kind of CAD are you trying to do? There are some good free packages for electrical design (EagleCAD and PCBExpress are two that come to mind).

Try a program called Slidworks it is expensive but the personal edition is a 90 day trial and the student edition is only 100 dollar cheap if you compare it to the 1000 dollar office edition. This is the same program the admin use to demostate his line following robot. (i think).
