for $250 you can pick up a 4' 4 bulb T5 overhanging light with multiple sets of 5000k and 3000k spectrum as well as a few of the single 4' T5 strips for side lighting from plantlightinghydroponics.com That's the setup I've been using and have pretty happy with the results so far (aside from my own dumbass mistakes I've made along the way). Also check out htgsupply.com The enclosed site below is for the overhead lights I use. Check out the sites though, there are definetly some that are cheaper and effective

nice to know how much you have to spend, but there are other important factors to consider.... what is your grow setup going to be?? people are suggesting 400w hps but that wont work if your area is 2X2... does your grow need to be very stealthy?? have you decided on a medium yet?? soil, hydro, other??? maybe you should post what you have in mind and some of the experts can let you know if it will work...... good luck

Go to IKEA or somewhere similar. You can get a worthy growbox in various sizes in the kitchen area. They are all white inside. Plus the shelves can be adjusted in height in about 2cm increments so you can attatch lights to a shelf and raise or lower them instead of hanging or raise or lower the pots on a shelf if you like. If you want to save cash, go for cfl. This way you need less climate control cos not too hot, thus saving more cash. The more money you save on the box and lights, the more cash you have to spend on quality seeds and growing medium. Plus remember to budget for fans , extention cords, spare bulb or bulbs, fuses, silicone sealant and any other thing you can think of cos these little items that cos just a few dollars mount up to quite a sum.
