Instructions
The components you need to salvage are: the power supply, DVD Burner (16x speed or more), and the heatsink. The DVD Burner provides the laser diode which is housed in the heatsink proofing. The PSU and the right wires are connected to the heatsink and the laser module. That’s it! The heatsink helps to run the laser long enough to burn through things like plastic and ignite matches.

Hehe
Make had this about 5 years ago. I tried it then, but I kept frying the diodes.
Didn't you notice Julian getting more freckles at the time?
