A little late to the conversation, but there are some relatively low 
cost (few hundred dollar) PC-based lightning detector products 
available.  I run one that's a PCI card with Windows software that 
generates a map and statistics that upload to my web page once per minute:

The system works surprisingly well, though when storms get close the 
azimuth and range both tend to become blurry.
