What do you expect for $30 :p

It's true... Most Chinese stores just make up power numbers that have nothing to do with real life output :P My 200 mW greenie is super freekin bright and leaves a nice beam and that's all I really care about... It's probably 50-75 mW but that's all I needed. My blue one I have no idea what...

I have that exact same laser... Got it from DX... Thats the same DX pictures and description so it's probably a DX site as said above. It burns good, it's more purple/UV than blue... I have some videos of it lighting matches on youtube. It works well if you focus it to a tight point and you...

Could post some pics that might be helpful.. I use QS so I don't know a lot about your hardware or software but try lowering your scanning speed and make sure your channels are outputting on the right pins.. Make sure your not using a crossover cable or something weird....

Heh you point your camera at the show and if it burns out the MPE is too high :p

I made a DMX guide (text) and a Freestyler fixture for that unit. It's attached to my review in the sticky in the reviews section. That should fill you in on any missing details. I wanted to get a neat panel like that but I ended up going for the PC DMX controller and then moved to ILDA. I...

I got DMX working fine with mine... Most people get the thing confused because they think they have to set the address seperate from the DMX dip switches... I uploaded some DMX info in my OP in the review section in the sticky.

If you want something small and cheap the Casa CTL-CM is a good candidate at around $150. If you can spare a bit more space the Reke 500RGB is a good choice at $210 and offers 7 colors and animation capabilities. If you want to spend closer to a grand you can find some higher end laser...

I had to replace an xbox motherboard back in the day and the part was $150 and UPS charged me $50 in brokerage.

Laser shows are the best and Qlimax looks awesome... There are many options... It really depends on your budget... How much are you willing to spend?

Which vid did you watch? You should, they are tons of fun :)

I had a showwx pico projector sent to me via a reshipping service and I think the USPS lost it... It was untracked and uninsured so I guess I'm screwed.

I liked my iPad for web browsing and e-mail sometimes while lying in bed, though I haven't really used it since I got my Playbook since it fits in my jacket pocket so I always have it with me.

Why not just buy a less powerful laser or buy a bright led if you want a giant spot.

Lots of things can reflect that aren't mirrors... Metal tools, foil wrappers, things like that... You have to do a thorough survey of the projection area and establish a safe zone where you can stand but have no chance of getting a beam in the eye. EDIT: This is the reason you can safely watch...
