I thought about the whole using a cellphone, but i didnt want to use my own cell so i would have to find a cheap one online and use that. and R.A.T.M if that question is targeted twords me, not lookin for somethin too big (i was going to use a pair of ski goggles as my base) and not looking to spend a whole heck of alot, cheaper the better but nothin more than $120-150. As for my skills, still in need of improvement but my uncle is a electronic engineer and said he would show me what i needed to know
Do you have a modern cell phone in your pocket? There's your screen... Don't believe me? Turn on your camera and shine a TV remote into it. It picks up the infrared LED in the remote. Just about any digital camera will do this as well. In fact, the expensive cameras are the ones with IR filters on them.
Funny you bring this up, I've actually been thinking about making an instructable for just what I'm describing: night vision goggles with a cell phone modded into it for its cheapness.

iv made them before but they consume so much power to power the infered leds
Well, your cell phone has its own batteries... All you need is some in the headset to power the LED's. That way, you pull your camera out when you're done. Heck, if you're smart enough, you can make an app that gives you a head-up-display while you're using it. I know I can't though.
