Where are you located ? I usually purchase NCH8200 for < £20 plus shipping and that comes to way less than $60. Another option is available here as a kit: https://threeneurons.wordpress.com/nixie-power-supply/hv-supply-kit/ The site also publishes full details of the circuit which I have used many times with success on my own boards. It's a well established design using a part which is relatively ancient but has proven reliable. As Paul mentioned, layout of these things is often critical so always look at the manufacturers recommendations for the layout of components, tracks and copper fills as it can make the difference between a functional power supply and something that gets too hot and releases the magic smoke from time to time (speaking from my own experience). - Richard
