[quote author=FireMyLaser link=1200154648/0#14 date=1200329515]So there is no one that can find double cr123 holders?  

Newark has some - also known as "2/3 A" - may be only singles though.

Here are some singles with tabs for easy soldering to make them into what ever you need. They may be the same as the ones DanQ is talking about.

It has been a long time now, but i got the housing from DX today and i put everything together. It's working! Another blu-ray pointer is born ;D. Threshold current is 22 mA and it's running at 32mA. For now I use a 9v battery to power it. The output is a bit dim but I can see the beam slightly (very slightly) if it's pointed at me. Should i turn up the power or play it safe? Anyhow I'll try to get some pictures soon

It is an awesome color...definitely my favorite. You can go as high as 38 ma's and still be safe IMO. It will not be much brighter, but every little bit helps.
