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". 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VrNDe...
