    Define cheap. You can always build a super cheap analog red from a DVD burner diode and one of Robin's die4drive boards. i don't think you can get any more bang for the buck than that.

    Lasever has an analog modulated 50mw blue for $400 last time I checked. They probably have good green prices as well.

    For the green you can buy a cheap laser pointer, extract the LD and optics assembly and use a die4drive to power it for analog modulation. That's probably the cheapest green you can get.

    From another perspective, if you are super short on cash before buying the lasers, you might want to rethink your choice of hobby.
