Need some guidance on my first green laser :)

[Clinville]

Hey fellow laser fanatics,
I think I'm finally going to get around to building the laser I've wanted for so long! I've picked out a module that I think would be sufficient.

This is the module I'm looking to get.
200mW 532nm Green Laser Module (3V 11.9mm) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

I have a few questions though...
1.) I believe the diode comes with the module, correct? hah such a noobish question

2.) I dont want that IR stuff ruining my eyes so would I just attach an IR filter to the end of the laser module? or is it more difficult than that?

3.) lastly.. do you think the laser is actually 200mw? or is that total bs and I'm going to waste my money?

Thanks for the advice!
Colton
