The high end whiteboards are expensive but the cheap ones are almost as good. The main difference in quality is how easy it is to erase. With whiteboard eraser fluid though everything will come off no problem.

You want to look for the 4'x8' panels of Melamine shower board. They are typically between $12-14 per panel at Lowe's or Home Depot.

I've had entire walls of whiteboard at the last 3 places I've lived. Have someone hold them against the wall while you drill screws through them. Don't worry about finding the studs—normal drywall is enough to hold it up. I use 6 screws per sheet. You can probably get away with just the corners if you want more usable surface but you might have some bending. When you screw it in, make sure it is completely flat against the wall otherwise you will have a slight bending away from the wall.

Stay away from the paint or from those cling on sheets. They are a waste of money.
