Wow, I totally nerded-out watching this. Love it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PquJdIK_z8

Damn, after reading your post it sounds like it'd be better to just trash this entire host and all the parts. Oh well, that's what I get for putting it in someone else's hands. People just don't give a crap about quality these days. :thanks:

Excellent; thanks guys. I'll hit you both up with some more rep when the forum lets me again. Once I can get my hands on all this stuff I'll let you know how it turns out.

Wonderful advice, thank you all. What's the best way for me to remount the pill inside of the host? Without the aluminum foil, it just slides freely inside. @upaa27 I was using it very conservatively with 40-60 seconds duty cycles and then 5 minutes to cool. Sinner did warn me about duty...

I can't actually remember if I "threw" the laser, or placed it gently into the case. Usually I'm gentle and caring with my electronics, but I remember being particularly upset. There's a chance that I may have thrown it; however, the case is padded. I'm not really sure, but yes, there's the...

I purchased a 3 watt blue laser from SBA/sinner about a year ago. The laser worked well for about a week; maybe 30 minutes total use using a very conservative 40-60 second duty cycle. After that initial week, it rapidly got dimmer with each use. It was such a pain communicating with the...

So I really like computers, and I really like lasers. Those are my two big hobbies right now. I want to merge the two and put a laser inside of my next computer case. I'm also going to put water cooling into this system... More for the looks than the overclocking. :whistle: I'm not quite...

They can't do anything for you at the emergency room anyway, save for swelling and pain. They'll just tell you to hit up your optometrist.

Thanks for doing the review. I really like the way this laser looks. You must have really liked it to buy two.

Sweet. It's awesome.

All of them are very cool!

Re: Re-Stocking: The MS-Envy - 18650 Custom Host (ETA 11/02/2013) Here's some pictures of the whole laser kit I got from Sinner and SBA. It's a 3W+ 445nm. They also recommended the case, which came from eBay.

Re: Re-Stocking: The MS-Envy - 18650 Custom Host (ETA 11/02/2013) Finally got my completed laser from SBA. It's just crazy bright and sets everything on fire instantly... Even from a few feet away. I love the size of the host. It fits in the hand nicely.

Friends are annoying and/or stupid. Life is easier without them. :crackup: If you can't find joy in lasing, it's time to take a step back and re-evaluate your existence.

Nice job there! +rep!
