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.

    Posting at +2 to raise this to people's radars. Mod the above up, guys, because 12 out of the first 20 posts say "dupe", and because, dang, Carmack is interesting.

    Let's have every registered user submit a comment letting everyone know that this is a repeat story. Americans have a short attention span anyways; they need to be reminded every 3.3 seconds.

    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.

    the last time [slashdot.org] this was posted, we had this comment [slashdot.org], saying it was a duplicate, though the poster couldn't for the life of her find the original, because slashdot's search engine sucks so royally. Hmmm...deja-deja vu.

    Is this the comment?
