I would suggest is getting a graphics card with an HDMI out. that will allow you to plug into a LCD or Plasma directly (virtually all new TV's have HDMI). Something like This Card will work for casual gaming, plugging into a tv, and isn't very expensive. The monitor is really up to your size and...

Re: A140 GB #4 $35 each! Payment has been resent. Sorry for the delay.

Re: A140 GB #4 $35 each! If there are any left, I'd like 1 diode. Edit: Payment has been Sent.

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! kiyoukan has done a great job with the GB so far. I'm sure his packaging will be equally awesome ;)

Re: *445nm lasers* !arrays 550$ and diodes 35$! I will take 1 diode. I am able to send payment whenever. thanks.

That was the exact intent behind this thread. With my post count, no one knows anything about me. Obviously someone who posted quite a bit and is known to be safety focused shouldn't be denied. This was more for verifying unknown people who only register when they want to buy something (myself...

Lol, I hate pop up div's like that. I've had to twist my display 90 degree before due to them. Maybe a different browser will help?

I wont argue that fact. There are, however, liability issues selling something potentially dangerous to a minor. Anyway, a responsible 16 year old should have no problem asking their parents to buy the item for them.

Hey All, With the new 445nm diodes coming available, there has been a lot of talk about safety and who should have access to them. A lot of us "lurkers" have surfaced to try and get in on the action, to the apparent apprehension of some members. I was thinking it may be productive to have a...

Re: ROUND 3 - CHEAP 445nm (true blue) 5.6mm diode group buy. Please put me down for one of these beasts. Thanks! David Edit: Payment has been sent.

The hot option is the diode driver (current regulator). If you don't get it, you'll need to get a driver and set it to the appropriate mA. I would suggest spending a bit of time reading the sticky posts. A lot of this information is covered in great detail already. Trust me (being rather new...

I also recommend using a PHR instead of a greeny for a first build. You'll get ~100mw Blu-ray for rather cheap. If you burn it out then it's easy to replace. Modwerx and hightechdealz sells them for <20USD I think.

It would be helpful to know what color, strength and type of laser you're looking for (i.e. lab style, pen or torch). We can definitely point you in the right direction once we know what you're looking for. Welcome to LPF!!!

Hey All, Thinkgeek.com is selling conductive glue that can be used instead of solder. I can definitely see some uses for this but I was wondering if anyone has used it yet? I'm curious to see what kind of resistance it adds (if any) and how it handles heat. Here's the link: Wire Glue!

Hey All, I've been "lurking" for the past few months. Unfortunately my account was messed up, and I wasn't able to post. I finally pinged c0ld last night so I could introduce myself. I found LPF because of Kipkay's videos. Being the meticulous sort, I actually did some research before trying...
