That's what I'm sayin, Freak - Even commercial systems that are designed and engineered correctly can fail (trust me, I have a few SL7's that have died after less than 1K hrs) - there's NO way I'd want to trust our production running anything that wasn't bulletproof (or at least marginally so).
In his defense, though, I did some quick math, GGW sled, Aixiz, heatsink/bushing, and a homemade driver along with a brand new SL2 SHINP display could be done for about $130-ish, so 200mW at $300 is reachable, but unless the "miracle diode" exists he's not going to be in business long using BDR's, which would end up at just over $270 per unit... My two cents.
POST EDIT: If anyone has one of these drivers or a blown diode, unit, whatever, please PM me as I wouild really like to run some tests on it (at my expense, if neccessary). Thanks!
