Hope everyone out there has been able to get a few of the 803t 405nm diodes. These are proving to be rather amazing for the price. Apparently they're good for 100++ mW (some people are getting closer to 200mW). To purchase an individual 405nm diode at these power levels (100+ mW) will probably cost you > $1000.00 !!
It's amazing to me how well these high powered 405nm diodes burn. I recently turned up the current on my DIY laser brick (http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1209940381/348) to 100mA, from 90mA. I'm planning on putting 100 hours of use on the diode @100mA to see how well it holds up. I wish I knew what the power output is - at 100mA is could be anywhere from 75-130mW. It burns better than my 125mW red, fo sho.

Note how much longer the pointer took to pop balloon when it was running at 80mA:
