CynCyn:  Some extra tips:
*Make sure you legally dispose of the computer when you are done!
*Drilling the heatsink can be a pain. A drill press would best best, but I just used a hand drill. I started with small bits and changed bits gradually until I got to 1/2". T 12 months ago
CynCyn:  This is the best way to go about drilling the heatsink.
*If you have an open can laser diode, take care not to let dust get inside of the diode!
*If you don't want to build a driver, just make the module found in this video and hook that up to the power supply. 12 months ago

gt1987:  Although this is pretty cool experiment, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone to try at home, very risky experiment for those who do not know what they're doing... 12 months ago
