TBH not a lot, you need a DVD burner to get any powerful laser diodes, having said that there is no reason why you shouldn't build a low powered laser just for fun and practice.
Have a look on laserpointerforums for loads more info to get you up and running.

I see.... for starters i would like to try it!! I will look into it ..... Its a shame I can`t post the photo of what I have, cause I just remember (and found) the pieces of a PlayStation 2 optical unit, so can I work with that? Also found 2 more focusing lens from a PlayStation 1 and another optical CD-ROM units, are they of any use? | |
