What am i overlooking Help me with this build please. And do i really need a a Jumpdrive or whatever?[/QUOTE]


Thats a 15.75mm module so It's going to be hard finding one as most people use a 12mm module.  

Yes you need a "jumpdrive".  You will not be able to see that laser just letting you know.  You really should read some of the "How to make your first laser" posts.  You might learn something.

If you need some assistance check out some of the links in my sig. :beer:
