one thing to consider that i had forgotten about when i was getting ready to build my laser show was: blanking, blanking is when you draw out text all of your letters will not be connected, when you dont have blanking you will see your text is more like cursive. basically blanking eliminates...

im planning on having a clear Plexiglas sheet over it to look inside. so would it be ok if the fan was right beside the module?

since im on a budget im just going to make a box out of wood and im going to have the top open for ventilation. also i have a 12 volt computer fan that is pretty powerful. i just dont know how im going to power that tho. any suggestions?

oh i for got what do u recommended for putting all of the stuff into?

ok got it. man im gonna have a lot of chords coming out of this unit lol. the laser, the dac,the galvos?

oh wow sweet! so would i need to buy a chord that plugs into the wall for it? what you mean solder a chord into it?

ok sweet that looks nice and i should be able to get an ok beam show out of that. so how many wires are coming out of that? and how do i hook this up to the dac? cuz i know where the positive goes its just that im unsure where the negative/ground goes?

what are any green laser modules under 50 dollars that are able to be used in a laser show system and that have a good heatsink so that i will be able to have the laser on for a while without it over heating? and support blanking. and that is some what powerful enough for a beam to show in the...

hmm idk now, i suck at soldering and there is no way i can make that work. can i buy any prebulit PCB boreds?

ok ill do that then, but on the $40 kit do i need to solder the components on?

ok i c. so which pcb bored do i need to buy. the one for 17 dollars or the one for 40 dollars? and do i need to solder the components on?

ok i c now. so both galvos positive are going to the amp correction board and both galvos negative are going to the sound card bored ground?

wait isnt the correction amp already in the sound card? and does it matter that the sound card on ebay is a 5.1 sound compared to the one on dealextreme that is 7.1?

also to be sure this is the sound card i need to buy? External USB 6 Channel 5.1 Sound Card PCI for PC Laptop - eBay (item 360195158251 end time Nov-02-09 13:47:58 PST) and everything is in there that i need to make my connections too?

ok i c. just rapping things up here. so the galvos connect to there own seperate amp (2 amps)? the the wires that come off the amp (+) (-) ground. i ignore the ground and connect the (-) (+) to the sound card like i have in the picture?
