YouTube DIY laser guru Drake Anthony shows how to turn the average dust-covered PC into a working laser capable of burning and cutting. You will just need the diode from the DVD burner (16x or faster) along with some other techno innards from the donor computer (as well as some minimal other supplies including protective goggles!).
