Hey,
Many members here regularly build and sell their own units. A 1w unit will run you on average $100 + shipping; a slightly stronger 1.4w unit will be roughly $150 or less.
As far as protective goggles go; QQ Tech which is a Chinese company sells them for about $9 USD

These goggles are both cheap and effective. For the most part they are pretty low quality. It is mostly designed from plastic but the only part that really matters is the shielding material and it is more than excellent for protection against 400nm-580nm
It wont do that well against 600nm+
