ok here we go... more of my crzy money wasting swapmeet excursions !!! muahah! i love it

ok back on topic...

the shiny power supply is an ATX power supply. it is hot swappable w/ those lil cartridges that i show the reflection of a CRIMM in. each is 250 watts but they r redundant so it is only 250 watts total. ------- 10 bux

the bad motha of a supply is freakin heavy, its great tho-- i tested all the outupts etc and it is all for real. 30 amps at 12 volts and 500 watts----------30 bux (well ya gott afigure that its cheaper than a meanwell peltier power supply)

that twirly mirror spins crazy fast!! omfg it cuz me when i brushed againsit it it was spinning so fast

ok thats it.... in like 1 month-- i will prolly get even more uselss swap meet junk i cant wait!

If it was used for lasers...get a Laser Light (from a pointer) and see what you can do....wonder what it would look like inside a case?

ok i dug up an old, and i mean old laser i had that was about as big as that bad motha power supply. so anyways if it is perpendicular to the mirror (well not really cuz the mirror is round)

time for a diagram!!

so when the laser hits the mirror from that angle, it projects a circlular laser design on the ceiling... it looks really cool im still experimenting w/ it
