Hello everyone, as of this weekend I'm a proud new member of The Laser Forums.
It all started a couple of days ago when a co worker of mine brought in his 55mW Wicked Laser to work, I'd never seen anything like it before and became instantly fascinated.
So, it just so happens that this weekend I get sick, which kept me in bed all weekend, which had me on the Internet alot researching these things. Through my own extensive research I ended up here after almost getting sucked into LC and almost buying a Techlaser.
Well I'm much more informed now after a weekend's worth of forum reading, Youtube watching, and web browsing madness. I originally decided on the Nova x100.... Then I started thinking, "Well I'm about to spend a bunch of money I don't have so get the most burn for your buck" and convinced myself to go with the x125... But man, they're out of stock, so I'm waiting to hear back from Nova sales on when they'll have the x125 in stock again. I can't go up to the x150 as it's out of my price range alone, and I have to get the $69 goggles because I already wear glasses.
Oh, I wanted to ask... Does anyone have a Nova that they've had for a long time? I'm a broke college student and if I buy this laser, it's going to be my Christmas present to myself and only a 3 month warranty is concerning on something so expensive, I would like to know what kind of lifespan I can expect.
So, now I wait. Wait for either the x125's stock to replenish or hope that maybe Nova will hook up an x150 for the price of an x125. When I do get my hands on on you can expect a review with lots of cool pictures and some match igniting, tape cutting, balloon popping action.

! Maybe in the meantime you can buy a 5mW green to have fun with while the NOVA ships and you could learn how to handle a laser.
