Turning Dead Drives into Speakers?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Why pay 500$ for Klipsch's latest speaker system? You can make something that looks way cooler for the price of a DIY amplifier and some HDDs out of a dumpster. It doesn't sound quite as good but who cares!" Next week we'll show you how to turn a laundry basket and a speak & spell into your own segway.

    If you get the ProMedia 5.1 set it only retails for $399. There of course is NOT a better speaker set available for the PC. Many many reviewers will be happy to attest to that fact. If I didn't feed my digital output to my DD receiver with a higher end sub/sat system then I would more than happily own the Klipsch.

    Uh, not to be rude, but whoop-de-frickin'-doo. Lots of people score 1600 on their SATs.

    Jeez, maybe not EVERYBODY has seen the story just because YOU have seen it. What a fat lot of typcially self-centered geeks we have out here today... Personally, having a life, I missed this little nugget and I appreciate the fault-tolerant story repost

    And that motherfucker is crazy. An outragesouly brilliant hack.

    SATs don't really test intelligence.
