That is one sweeet host. Amazing bargain too.

Re: 3-mode 445nm laser build Fantastic! It's so good to see people trying new ways of doing things. I have to try this on a build.

Beautiful beam. I've never seen a yellow beam in real life. Must be something special. Regarding the specs taken from Laserglow's site, should we take that as a rough guide considering that they often claim and prove that their lasers are not necessarily the same as those you can buy from CNI...

Matter of opinion I guess. imo, UT3 is the same game, just more refined weapons, and shinier. Ignoring the extra game modes that is. I only really like pure DM, or CTF anyway. All those cap zones, and vehicle modes just bore me, to be honest. If I must dust off my copy of 2004, then so be...

So, a preferred comms method? Steam? It's free and you can install UT3 to it. Can do MSN too, but generally prefer Steam.

I'll take you on Ped, and anyone else ;) I love pure DM. If you've got STEAM that'd be the best way to arrange it. EDIT: Just realised I've only got UT3 installed, you guys all have that too? My copy of UT 2004 is stashed away in the Ye Olde games locker. I could dig it out, but surely...

Thanks guys. I'll be on the safe side and bridge the outputs to make sure. :)

Another nice build, and great review :) Just wondered though; what on earth are you doing with all these builds?? ;) You must take a photo of your whole collection so far. I'm about to one or two more from the master-crafstman, but have to wait until xmas shopping is done for everyone else...

By the way, another tip in case you don't already know, but a great tip cleaner that'll last you a lifetime is a scouring pad... ... Amazon.com: 3M Scotch-Brite 214C Stainless Steel Scouring Pad, 3-Count: Home Improvement Just poke the tip in before starting work and it comes up like new every...

Hi all. I'm about to re-do a recent build to tidy up the internals, and make it perfect, but wondered whether or not I need to "short" anything before reconnecting to the laser diode. It's a 445 build with the Flexdrive set at 900mA. With my first build using a DIY DDL driver I had to short...

Here's another link to one of the best user-friendly free paint packages available... ... Paint.NET - Free Software for Digital Photo Editing , so you can easily resize your pics to 800x600 before posting them on here. Just makes it easier to read posts with images. That's a very neat job...

^^ Looking forward to your review :) I too can vouch for Laserglow. Even I was a bit surprised to see their prices for the Polaris, but considering that they use corrective optics, and offer such great beam specs, I'd say it's definitely worth it. I've got a 532nm 125mW Aries, and it's...

I can't recommend this site enough. Tangent Tutorials I gained more confidence using these video tutorials than anything I'd come across before, or since.

No chance mate! Without even going into the nightmare of physical challenges of even fitting a new card to a motherboard that hasn't even got the space, or slot for it, you'd have to be able to re-write the BIOS to recognise it, manage its power supply, AND ignore the existing chipset! Out of...

LOL, I love that 80's Japanese electro track :) Well here's one for the best sort of music fan, the Metalist, and anyone else who might like it of course ;) It's a piano cover of "Aesthetics of Hate" originally by Machinehead, for those unfamiliar with these demi-gods. The lady doing this...

Received mine yesterday and built it last night. Will try and find time to post some pics and a mini-review later in the week. Many thanks.

Sorry, I don't see how I was being overly defensive, but it's hard to suggest errors without seeming so. Anyway, regarding the current draw. As there are two CR123A's delivering a total current of 1.2-1.4A, doesn't that mean that current is shared between them? I'm not certain but it seems...

No offense, but you are incorrect in thinking this. Yes, you can use the case pin of the LD as a case path, but that doesn't mean it's necessary. The ONLY circumstances where is is necessary is where you can't get a case path from another part of the case, such as the brass module, or a pill...

Aha, so your Spartan turned out fine in the end? Glad to hear it :) DL have a well earned reputation. As for the cause apparently being to do with the batteries, this is common. Some other users reported that run-times were pretty poor with the recommended LiFePO4 CR123A's when they are...

DTR's done a couple of parallel builds as I'm sure many others have for precisely the same reason as mentioned above. As for how to set these drivers, I've got a couple of very similar ones from Odicforce that are set by soldering a surface-mount resistor of your chosen value to the appropriate...
