Title says it all, if you had $1000 that you must spend on laser related stuff, what would you buy?
Personally, I would buy a powerful green, then build an 8X bluray. If I had anything left, I would have got me some optics.

i would buy 3x pioneer drives, and then i would spend the rest on surefire hosts, and copper heatsinks....surefire flashlight are so expensive....but damn are they pretty.

i've also wanted to make one of those tactical flashlights into a laser...but $60 is a lot to drop on just the host.

I'd buy some more Niko.


But... as I have to choose something laser related then:

An RGB setup (50mW blue, 30mW green, 150mW red) plus lots of potentiometers for fine tuning + optics to combine beams, etc. Goggles for red, green and blue. An 8x build, GITD paint to paint the room and a CNC to start machining stuff for me and the forum.

wow thats a great idea.......i need to paint a whole room in GITD paint, that'd be sweet!

i dont think i would ever spend $1000 at once on laser stuff

but if i had to i would get a 8x bluray and and high powered greenie in a cni gb

A down payment on a nice 642nm upgrade

I would wait until 12x's came out and make a 12x build. But for now I would buy Sightfx's seven color laser kit with 3 high powered RGV lasers.

[Dr.Laser]

i would buy CNI 20mW 594nm portable or i would build full RGB labby

 

[Fortyfive]

I would buy two lasers from the CNI GB. The 473nm and the 594nm, then Id buy a fog machine and some dx true 5's lol.

This 40 watt greenie is going for $500 right now: LASERSCOPE #813 KTP/532NM 40 WATT LIGHTSHOW DPSS HENE - eBay (item 290343221642 end time Aug-29-09 19:46:43 PDT)

Yeah, I'd buy that, and a really big flashlight to house it in.

although a doubt that 1000.00 US would by this maybe 1 hour alone w/ it would do

I don't think I would ever spend near $1000 on lasers at once...but if I did I would buy a meter for sure.
