I had a Toshiba Tecra M4 until about two weeks ago when it died! I've had it for about 2 years though. It was a fantastic laptop, I would recommend Toshiba, though I know you have said you've had problems. Now I'm looking at a MacBook... lol. With the Edu discount it works out pretty good and...

Personally I want to use this one http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12346 Looks good and seems to have enough space. If anyone gets one before me, let me know how it goes! Medd

As this got towards large capacity discs, anyone else seen this on Gizmodo? http://uk.gizmodo.com/2008/07/08/pioneer_develops_400gb_bluray.html That's a lot of ripped movies onto a disc! Medd

Excellent, thanks a lot. Medd

A random and possibly useless question, are 3.6v batts ok in the MXDL torch that most people use? The DX description says not to use them, but I guess that cause you wouldn't be using the torch circuit then 3.6's would be fine? You're going to say yes now and this will have been a stupid...

Heh... sorry guys. It would be similar to example two. DIY red burner! Thanks for your help, the main thing I wanted to know was if I could use the chargers over here! Knowing that gives me a lot more options on hosts as I was sticking to hosts that only took AA batts. So now that I can use...

OK, I'm completely perplexed about what batteries to get. Would normal AA's be fine or would 3v's be too little? If so what lith's can I get in the UK that would be fine? Or... can I get liths and a charger off DX and not blow them up by plugging them into the UK mains? I've found some...

Cheers for your comments guys, I had pretty much decided on some duracell m3 AAs or something like that. If it eats batts, meh. Won't be using it everyday anyways. One of my thoughts was could I use the driver out of one of the torches I've been thinking about. I think it's pretty much out of...

Ok well I'm still undecided on what torch to buy to convert into my laser torch. I've got a couple in mind but I was wondering, using DDLs driver, aixis unit, etc. Whats the minimum width the gurus here would recommend? Something like the Ultrafire Cree C8? Thats about 21mm width at the head. So...

I'm looking at getting a C-8, http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6131 But that just takes AA batts. Looks to be a good size though and with a driver board replacement people have modded it to take 3 AAs by adding another extension tube. Medd

Long time no see everyone! It's been aaages since the GB for all those diodes and I've only just got around to playing with them. Anyway, I have been looking at torches as a host again and I just wanted a quick opinion on this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.6131 One question I...

Well in theory it's a mini tesla coil. It steps up the voltage pretty high so it jumps. Of course thats aided by whatever the chuck in the globe. Whatever circuit they have in it should give a pretty stable output. I imagine it would need a stable, constant flow of wee electrons to get the...

Re: Hex DIY Red Laser - The ULTIMATE burner idea! I've thought about this (using a plano lens) for something like a DIY laser etcher. You'd have to combine alot of the GB diodes to get the power needed lol. But the ideas I had are basically the same as what you are coming up with. It should be...

Oh... you just had to say that didn't you? *sigh* Ignorance WAS bliss :p hahaha! Oh well, with the back order on the modules, hardly makes much difference!! Medd

I'm starting to get excited... but I'll have to wait for them to fly all the way over here to the UK :( Medd

No it's not a C3 its a Ultrafire WF-606A 3W Cree Flashlight. Looks a bit bigger than your C3? So looks like it will have plenty of space in it?! lol. As you guys seem to think it will be ok, I'll be ordering one as soon as I get SenKats diodes through!! ^_^ Thanks for the info guys, especially...

Just wanted opinions on whether or not this torch will be useful! http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4238 Would be good if I can use it, if nothing more to expand the list of useable torchs! Sorry for the link being messed up... you guys know the drill! haha Medd ****EDIT FIXED LINK****

Re: ** FEELER **  PHASER diodes! If the price came down I'd be interested buddy. Wouldn't mind turning it into a lab beam!... or two of them ^_^ Medd

I recommend that people use Google, its extremly quick and easy! Alot easier than PayPal, and lets face it, we can do SenKat a favour and avoid any fee's on this!! 5 diodes all paid for! ^_^ Can't bleeding well wait ^_^ Medd
