For about $40 you can get the Altos mat cutter system.  This consists
of a fiberboard base with parallel rule, and a plastic cutter body
with replacable blade.  With moderate (1/2 hour serious work) 
practice, I find this works nearly as well as the fancy sysems, and
the price is right.

To make it even neater, and easier, you can use the Logan mat cutter
(which is the best cutter I know of) with it.  You have to work out
some offsets so that the cuts come where you want them, and so you can
mark where to stop cuts correctly, but it's worth the effort.
