mudslag Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Where can I get my hands on dead hard drives? Im looking to create some hard drive art using parts. Something along the lines of this. I tried contacting recycling centers and pc repair shops but either they didnt have them or couldnt sell/give them away. Not sure what other options there are, short of buying new ones but thats more of a waste of good drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey13 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You could try asking any IT department at a large company/building. On a side note I have an old 5.25 inch plater on my desk. The thing is like a discus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
