I used this awhile back at another job because it was free and it had alot of extra tools in it that where nice: Free Network Monitoring Software | Spiceworks Free Network Management Software

It does more than network monitoring and will allow for ticket creation and computer tracking.

Here is what we currently use where I am at now but I have nothing to do with it anymore since I dont do helpdesk. JIRA - Track bugs, projects, issues with software development tools by Atlassian | Atlassian

Another one that I have heard of is: Simplifying IT Complexity | LANDesk

Here is a thread I found on technet forums: Helpdesk / Ticketing Software

If Help Desk is the focus I'll take Spiceworks over JIRA any day. Having said that, I'm a big fan of ServiceDesk, SysAid and similar products that provide ticket tracking, asset management, knowledgebase, granular reporting, etc.

The most important thing is to determine your requirements and budget and then go from there.

ticket tracking and asset management are the main things plus as you say budget!! haha

It's been a while since I've looked at this, but if memory serves there are a number of cheap and solid packages available from Canadian-based companies.

A really good package with lots of features and an easy interface is FocalScope. It allows you to use regular email for help desk tickets and includes live chat and a mobile client. You can see the other features at Focalscope.

Numara Track-IT is great and has a lot of features.
