I have a couple. What do you call cheap? My gen 2 tube is about $1200. It is very useable and functional. You can identify game out to 75 yards or so, i.e. tell the difference between a hog and a coyote. My Gen 3 is ridiculous in its resolution, but it was pricey.
1200 is pricey, I'm curious about the gen 1's with illuminators, I've seen a few online in the 150-300$ range. Just would like to see if anyone has used them before so I'm not just wasting money getting a cheapo
The cheapest version of night vision is essentially IR illumination with something that picks up IR reflection (i.e. digital cameras). You can get the toy versions (EyeClops makes two or three sets) and enhance them with an IR flashlight (or just build your own IR light by adding a home-made filter to a spot-light).
If you want to build your own, any camera with "night shot" capability will work and any older camera before they put IR filters in will work as well (lots of those out there for cheap).

What kind do you need? What are you going to use them for? Those could be deciding factors to get what you want.
Monocular, Binocular, Telescope, Helmet mount, scope mount?
A monocular, preferably that could be used hands free but doesn't have to be. As for what I need it for, let's just say the neighbor hood has an abundance of cats.
