 the link for the heat sink is broken where else can I get one?

 this is a cool project, but in my book, $80 is not cheap. Kipkay has easier ones, and you can get his diodes from cheap, broken Xboxes.

Also, how many mW is the diode?

DO you NEED the heatsink, and if you do is there an alternative site to buy it from?

I so need to start getting me laser parts. I think about a 3 color Laserbank (PC Controlled) to project shapes in RGB to a wall and stuff.... Yeah i always go over the top with the stuff i wanna do.

The link for the heatsink redirects me to the home page of laser pointer forums. Could you re-post the link (or the correct link)?
