I have a similar problem which I am looking at for one of my branch offices,
The office is wired but I have to get a connection in the workshop which is
about 90mtr away with line of site.
I have been looking at these antennas heres

and these Access Points
http://www.wifi-antennas.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id=12
(they confirmed that the AP and antenna's will work together)
When I costed it out the whole kit (plus cabling) came to under £200, this
compared to getting similar netgear kit from one of our suppliers was going
to be just under £500 (I say similar but the netgear AP's have quite a bit
more options I believe).
Not come to a decisions yet so would be keen to hear what you actually decide
