I'm sure almost everyone and their mother has heard of newegg, but for all you guys wanting to try some of those DIY red torches, this is the place to get your DVD burners to harvest the diodes. Most of them have free shipping, the ones that done have like 5 bucks for shipping, and the costs are bargain basement prices.

Recomentdation: Pioneer 112D, 34 bucks shipped and from what I hear its easy to take apart and has a good diode.

However, its all pretty cheap so do what you want, experiment, and post your results in the Experiments and Modifications section for all of us to read!!

Good Luck Modding!!

I imagine 18x must be a SLIGHT power jump?

Man that figures...I paid $71.08 a few weeks ago for two of them including shipping. :'( $60.00 would have been a very good deal.

Lite-ON 20x DVD Burner $27 shipped, not sure if the diode is open can or not.

I would bet it is and I would also bet it is a big pain to get out.
