Now that that is over with, lets get down to business.

In this Instructable I am going to show yo a few ways to re-use an old hard drive.

Other than mirrors and coasters, I haven't really found much use for these.

Last but not least the magnets! Yay!

Now then, you can use then as regular magnets, or as a cool low cost wall decoration.

All credit for the second one comes from Household Hacker.
