You can put me down for 2 PHRs if you ever get this GB off the ground. I'd use them as 'practice diodes' before I shell out for an 8X.

Uh, there's essentially no chance of you getting a high powered laser out there (unless you drop by Kenom's place).  Buy a Coleman bluray from Jake or a greenie from likeitbright and you might get it in time to use it. 8-)

I saw this today: http://o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=987. What types of diodes could I use with this? Awfully cheap at 2 per $7.50 shipped.

Re: FS: Dell inspiron 9200 Have you considered posting an ad on craigslist? You could potentially exceed even your modest price expectations. 8-)

Re: New O-Like Blu-Ray Diode Housing with Glass Le Are you referring to the price or the power loss?

I can only wish that either my diode or my driver survives after this. :P

No, that is not confusing at all, I was totally being a dumb*ss and the fact that I was happily measuring a parallel load without it crossing my mind for some reason is a little disturbing. XD Thanks, I'll go and do some proper testing later.

I highly doubt these will go down to 40-50 meters. Your best bet might be to make your own using one of the diving torches from DX as a host.

Looks just like the housing for red diodes, except this one supposedly has an AR coated lens designed for 405nm light. http://o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=980 Cost is $50, and claimed power loss is 10-15%.

iskor, I would spend a little extra money for a Core i7 setup instead. Also, instead of buying everything from Newegg, you might want to check out FatWallet.com for deals on your parts. For example, for $189.99 you could be buying an overclocked HD4890 1GB instead (be advised that the price has...

For load, I'm measuring with my multimeter leads connected to the positive/negative solder joints on the pads, with the PHR soldered on.  Yes, the continuity test is with the diodes attached, and once again with the leads on the positive and negative pad joints.

Shite. Someone overlooked something apparently... ::)

They're not joking though, it was a national holiday in China last week. :P (That's a literal translation as well XD) I've dealt with Quality China Goods before.  Customer service is not as good as DX/LEDShoppe, but they do respond promptly and send your stuff on time.

Looks like I will soon be parted with $300 of my money. @#$*&%$#!!

8HE09: 8% off, no minimum 12HE09: 12% off $30 or more 18HE09: 18% off $100 or more Ends 4/30/09 For a quick example, if I purchased 5 X 50mW green lasers at $24.99 each, I would end up with a total price of $102.46 after 18% off, and the unit price of each pointer would be $20.49. Not the...
