So are labbies not included in this group-buy then?

The OD value is a log value. If you aren't interested in the math, I'll tell you that 250mW would require at least a level of OD3 in order to ensure safety; that would make the 250mW laser appear as a 250/1000=0.25mW laser, which is safe (so long as you don't point it directly at your eyes of...

Glenn, if you can get a GB discount at 10% (~15% would be more preferable obviously), I will probably be in. First, though, I'm interested in the prices of all of their 473nm lasers (both lab-style and portable). I would say that if you do multiple GBs with Viasho, it would be great if you...

I just read about this; I'm totally shocked that this happened.

I'm with MarioMaster on that one. I'd buy a set and I have a few friends who would too.

I have a pair like that from Laser Wave. I got them from Things, who is a Laser Wave distributor. They took a month to get here though. But it was worth it... They do a fine job blocking out green (I originally ordered goggles that just block out green, but these seem to block out everything...

Core i7 920 Stock: 2.6Ghz O/C'd to: 3.2GHz without changing stock voltages, so it's nice and cool. RAM clocked back up to 1600MHz, but I had to increase the memory controller voltage a bit to stop the system from dying. I suppose I could push it much higher, but I don't really want to... It's...

50mW version: http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=8316 The hosts on these look really nice. Looking forward to a review.

pseudolobster: Thank goodness you're using RAID 5. If you were using RAID 0, I'd be laughing... Those ultra-high capacity drives love to fail. I'm planning on buying at least 3 640GB WD Caviar Black drives for my RAID 5 array. 1.2TB is more than I need, especially since I'll be dedicating it...

Fantastic laser, MarioMaster. And the control panel is really nice, too!

Of course it has a 3 prong plug.

I always check my freshly charged batteries with a multimeter before I stick them in my lasers and I have never once seen any such issue. That includes both protected and unprotected cells.

3GiB is the max that a 32bit OS can recognize. PAE (Physical Address Extension) is present in some operating systems (like Linux), allowing you to address far more RAM, but I don't think it's available in Vista for some reason. Don't quote me on it though... I haven't really used Windows in a...

x86 describes a family of processor architectures (i386, i486, i586, etc.) and is now usually used to refer to 32-bit system architectures. x64 is technically an incorrect term (more correct would be x86_64), but it's supposed to refer to the 64 bit architecture. In general, there's no point...

Stick a 10440 in there because alkaline batteries just barely reach the voltage required to deliver the current output that the driver is set at. Use a focusing lens because the beam on that laser is way too thick.

I have a soldering station that looks *exactly* like it. It's sold by MPJA: http://www.mpja.com/viewallpict.asp?dept=461 It's actually a fantastic little station. I have no problem soldering delicate circuitry with it. IMO, temperature regulation is a little overrated if you're looking for a...

When I get my Antec 1200, I'm planning on eventually installing an LCD display so that I can monitor my CPU usage, temps, network usage, mem usage, etc. There is a good amount of info on the internet for doing this (search for lcd4linux), so I think it'll be a fun project.

I watched the webcast, which was absolutely horrible. Someone found a backdoor so I started using it before it was launched. Then, when they launched, there were all sorts of stupid load problems. I doubt they hired people with actual experience on how to build scalable, fault-tolerant...

It's probably technically possible, but there are better options. For example, phase change cooling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling#Phase-change_cooling I know of at least one cooler with a built-in TEC: the Coolermaster V10. But, it's absolutely enormous and will rip your...

Also, somewhere in your user control panel, you can enable the more advanced editor, which will allow you to format your text using a WYSIWYG editor.
