Yea, that's what I was thinking too.

I can only assume that you would need to cool it similar to those Coherent FAP-800's. Good heatsink and TEC.

Those Dilas units show up on eBay fairly often.

Might get away without a TEC if you have it heatsinked properly, although you may want fine temperature control.

Could use a water cooled plate too.

eBay rant not related to lasers: Trying to buy a pair of rear shocks for my truck, keep getting told the item can't be shipped to my location for some reason (even though the item ships to Canada). Tried multiple items with multiple sellers. :thinking::gun:

We are sorry but the item you selected may not be purchased due to Seller shipping restrictions, country specific import/export or other relevant restrictions.

Guess I'll see how much the local parts places are charging.

Edit: Tried a Canadian seller with the item shipping from Canada and it tells me that it doesn't ship to the Northwest Territories. WTF.

Yes, but you would need a beast of a heatsink.

That must be so irritating.
You're probably going to pay a whole lot more. :can:
Where's the ice road truckers when you need them. :crackup:

A decent CPU heatsink and a fan would do the job I think!

Pain in my butt! Managed to get them on amazon for $152, so not bad at all. Now I need money for the front end.

What, like this?

Well, I hope you get them sorted soon. Thank goodness for amazon.

That'd probably do the job, yeah! Side note, if that's the fan I think it is, they're super quiet.

Me too, hopefully get them done before we really get into winter... BIL is a mechanic so maybe I'll see if he's up for it!

Cool, I just typed in huge cpu heatsink fans.
Well good luck.

Don't feel alone... My truck's tranny blew day before
yesterday. Will cost more to fix it than it's worth.
And I just put $150 into fixing the AC in that.

Now I need to buy another car... been running around
trying to find a deal.
When you least expect it... Crap happens...

That sucks I'm hoping I'll get another year out of mine without anything else major. Few things needing done on the front end but will hopefully do me through winter...

Remote start broke two winters ago, should probably fix that before this winter.

Good luck on your search! :beer:

When I complained to that ebay seller who was trying to pawn off M140 diodes as 465 nm wavelength he responded with this message. Appears he is trying to insult me for being an Alaskan:

New message from: critical_eye_studios (174Turquoise Star)

Usually purple move to the northernmost parts of the country to escape other people, as the movers are maladjusted, neurotic, and anti-social. An inferiority complex that's all but impossible to treat follows them and tortures them every moment of the day. As children, they tried to treat their wrecked self esteems by pulling the wings off of flies during six-grade math class, and actually finding enjoyment in doing so. The father north these hapless people move, the greater seems their neuroses.

Not impressed at all with that seller. No need for that and totally unprofessional. Report him, I would.

 

[Alaskan]

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

I will report him later, kinda busy tonight, but not too busy for LPF! I wonder what he would think if he knew I have a home in Ukraine too.

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

I don't know, and that you are currently in Iraq helping the forces. I just hope he hasn't insulted you too much with that response.

I don't know where this guy lives, I didn't look, but some folk on the east coast like to thumb their noses at people who have moved west, saying they only moved west because they couldn't make it in the east side of the country, this is just a variation of that sour grapes story.

Edit, he is in SD California, it's the east coast story modified to be "the people who move north". Diachi, I guess that means anyone who moves from somewhere are losers, the further away the more so. Well, I'm a big looser so far from home right now.

If anything, the opposite is true. Although, maybe I'm biased?
