Hard Drive After Life

Step 2 "Bring out your dead" (Monty Python) Hard drives

Gather up all your old worn out hard drives and plug then into your power supply to see if they will spin. You can remove the covers and watch the platter spin and the head move back and forth. If the sound is pleasing, then its a keeper.  Ask your friends or someone at a recycling center if they have some to donate to your project.  It is, after all, a "green project" and good for the environment to re-purpose electronic goods. You can use floppy drives too.
