Build a cutting laser from an old PC

Build a cutting laser from an old PC: "


[Drake Anthony] makes building a cutting laser from a PC look easy, and it seems like it actually is. Almost everything you need can be found in a dead desktop unit. The diode is pulled from a DVD writer (16x or faster), with the power supply unit, and heat sinks from the processor and GPU being used as well. You’ll also need a focusing lens (just a few dollars), some thermal glue, an LM317, a resistor, and a pair of protective goggles matching the laser diode’s wavelength.


He fits the diode into the lens, then glues the assembly into a hole drilled through the processor heat sink. A driver is built using the LM317 variable regulator, resistor, power supply, and the GPU heat sink to keep things cool. Check out the video after the break to see the laser cutting tape, burning plastic, and lighting matches.

How to Fake/Trick Your Netbook's Screen Resolution to Higher

Get 1024x768 or higher resolution on your netbook via this registry hack ! Go to the Start menu and type in  regedit  in the search box, then hit Enter At the top menu, go to Edit then Find... and search for " Display1_DownScalingSupported " Change each instance you find (you'll likely find 2 results for this) from "0" to "1". Make sure you change e very found instance , because otherwise the hack won't work (in my experience). Once done, restart the system. Njoy !
