Cheapest way to generate a PWM for a relay with LabView2010 and a Laptop

Hello there,

like mentioned in the title I'm searching for the cheapest way to generate a PWM signal for a relay. I want to use a Laptop and LabView2010 for it. I read through several  topics but after time it just got more confusing. For example the NI USB-6008 OEM seems to be a cheap solutiion, however I'm not sure if I can use for the PWM signal generation as this thread says it's not possible:

But then again this thread right over here makes it seem like it's do-able:

So again in short form.

 

What I need:

- the cheapest way to generate a PWM signal to control a relay

 

What I have until now:

- LabView2010

- Laptop

 

 

 

If possible it would be great to have two channels for two seperate signals, but this is of lower importance right now.
