Yes, Ebay lasers are really bad, But to be honist, it served my needs at the time, and it was really really cheap. and the only reason its dead is coz i over powered it.

Thats true!, I have mine ordered mine, and someone is building it all up for me. $80 delivered. Not bad. plus it is supported by all the PRO software like LSP and Mamba Black etc. with re-coded easylase driver. I cant wait for mine to arrive!!!! i wish my new 100mw CNI Laser would arrive too. Damn China!!!

So a USB sound card goes in to the laser and you use some software with it to make things?
How exactly does that work? Do you need a DMX thingy to go with it as well? What kind of capabilities does it have?[/quote]
Soundcard DAC's have the same capabilities as Top End DAC's. You dont need DMX. They output to standard ILDA.
A DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor) simply takes the Data from the computer and changes it into analogue wave forms. A soundcard has to do that to take digital audio into Sound (Analogue Waves). Soundcards are already a DAC so they are easy to work with after a few changes. You have to connect it to op-amp's to make the signal balanced, but then it all works in the same matter as any other Laser DAC and work with any ILDA Scanner. They also use a re-coded easylase driver that lets your use it with most of the professinal software such as Mamba Black & LaserShow Designer.

DMX is just a simple 0 to 255 controller. ALmost like a TTL signal!
A DAC converts the digital signals outputted by your computer, into analog signals ( Like how you can get analog lasers) Which is just a signal with a varying voltage. DAC's are made for lasers mainly, but DMX was intended for lighting only. Murudai, Do you have any vids of the scanner with the 150mw green? I want to get a rough comparison ;D
I am having probs finding a USB sound card here, so I may buy one of drlava too. I have $150AU laying here, but thats for my laser once it arrives Which should be before next weekend!
On the other hand, bridge from laser-wave recently PM'ed me and asked if I would like to be a Aussie distributer of thier products!! I am trying to find out what i'd be required to fill out to do it ATM.
