===== What is needed for a good laser show =====

Great resource about laser shows: http://www.laserfx.com

lots of good links: http://www.linux-laser.org/links.php?lang=de

==== Laser controller software - player ====

Probably the best system out there is the Pangolin [[http://www.pangolin.com/LD2000/feature_overview.htm]]

Free player: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lfiplayer3d
limited features, limited documentation... but it is free

==== Computer Interface ====

That will generate ILDA compatible signal





==== Laser projector ====
To control the laser position and generate image 
Here is one from eBay:
This is a green 100mW laser from nfi.exports.direct on ebay for $590+ $69 shipping from China. 
It works quite nice, even without the ILDA controller it is possible to perform nice show with the DMX control only.
