cos the beams need to be at 90 degrees to each other so i can combine them in a cube.

No, I mean, why aren't they the same model? Or am I missing something here, lol?

Hey andy, I know the two blues in this particular instance are polarized correctly to use the cube, but what if someone just had two laser modules with the same polarization? Could one module be mounted differently? uhh... I guess it would have to be sideways ;D Or is there some other creative way of overcoming the polarization issue?

mount sideways or use expensive complex optics to turn the beam

Why such tiny fans? They'd be screamers to push any decent amount of air - I'd want no less than 80mm fans on something like this.... (yea I know it's not your scanner but yeesh)

But the modules you're using are air-cooled. You even said on PL:

... laserwave modules dont need a alum heat sink and therefore shouldnt get hot
