Hello, I know this should be in the Buy/Sell/Trade section but I feel like it would be more relevant here. I am looking for a general, already assembled, laser scanner. Something similar to this: ---15K Scanner Link--- Notice he posted a link to buy the scanner but it was from 2006ish and is dead now. I am looking for a scanner with pre-programmed effects. Nothing to special. My budget limit is $200. I have my own lasers so that's not a problem. I am just very bad with electronics and have very little experience. Also, I could buy all the parts and have them shipped to you and pay you $$ to build it + shipping. If anyone has something to sell or a link to buy I would very pleased. Thanks so much in advance!

Go buy one of those Reke 500RGB projectors. That's about as good as you'll get for ~$200, and not bad for what you pay.

$200 is a really low budget when it comes to scanners, not a high one.

One of the reasons I'm not touching scanners is I'm not sure my wallet can handle the expanded price of the hobby at the moment.

200$ is REALLY low for a projector. It wont even get you a decent scan set. Get the REKE-500, I own it and it's a great projector for the price, it comes with pre-programed frames so no need for a DAC.

If you really want to get into scanners your budget should be at least 10 times what it is.

Well I'm not even looking for anything that complex, a single color, laser projector I guess you could call it. I know how pricy scanners are. I could care less about the shapes to be honest. Just more for a light show. Maybe I am asking for the wrong item here, or didn't ask it correctly. I really just need a single color laser "beam" show to use with a 400MW green laser. It could even be a cheap 10mw laser piece of crap china toy. As long as i can replace the laser in it it should work just fine. Thanks for the replies.
