Build A Stereo From an Old Hard Disk
An anonymous reader pointed us to an amusing little hack site that demonstrates how you can build a little stereo out of an old hard drive. Of course I don't need a stereo for I am a human beat box.

There's gotta be SOME kind of law this violates.
Whenever someone does something cool with music or technology these days, it seems they get SUED by some American company!
C'mon. DMCA maybe? RIAA violation? It's gotta be somethin!

I thought marriage was supposed to fix that!

an .mp3 to see what it sounds like?
Yeah, yeah, it's possible to build a stereo from a hard isk...
I'm sorry, but I don't think very many people enjoy the screeching sound of a needle penetrating a harddisk-platter.
Gnusay -- for all your talking gnu needs.
"Take the hard disk and open it, may be you will need a little torx screwdriver if you don't have it, take the hard tools: the drill and eat them with it."
Can anyone translate this for me?

From cup holders to stereos, just a few more ideas and I will be ready to retire my Pentium2 and recycle it into good junk.
Sig temporarily out of service.
Actually, no. I threw a regular 13gb IDE harddrive into the chest of someone who wanted to beat the shit out of me after stealing his booze. I think i hit him with a corner or something, because he sounded like it hurt like hell.
this is probably the most boring sig in the world
Ok--it's a speaker )which is really neat).
Butt it's 1 speaker, so it makes it mono, and that's it.
I thought it was going to be something to play/store music on. Unless there's more, we've been jipped.
Damnit, Jim, I'm an anarchist, not a F@#$!^& doctor!
I think you need TWO speakers for that. Yes, a RAID streo system is in order.
My "stereo system", computer with two harddrives is the best source of white noise around. Unfortunately, my power supply is louder.
I was on my way home with it one friday evening, after a friend had borrowed it, when i got into an arguement with some guy over some booze i stole from him. I threw the harddrive, it obviously hurt him alot in the chest, and i ran off before he recovered (yeah, i know.. im a coward)

SCSI may be better than IDE, but no hardware can match the danger of a man weilding an ATX powersuply.

Pa-chew!

I have a copy of "CATALOG: The Commodore 1541's Greatest Hits" sitting here. Tracks include:
- Drive - The Cars
- Step By Step - New Kids On The Block
- You Spin Me Round - Dead Or Alive
- Crash - Dave Matthews Band
I can't make out much of the label after that, can anyone help me here?There are no karma whores, only moderation johns
When i think of it... iMac would be the most dangerous hardware-weapon. You could get a good swing at it, because of the good grip you get on the handle, and it weights alot more than the human skull can take at the apropriate hurling-speed.

... mean that you can get a harddrive from an old speaker?
If you really want some speakers, I'll meet you at the ATM in my white van. The warehouse gave me two too many for the install I had to do..
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
the worst part of soldering in your underwear is the flux you have to use to make the solder stick. it really stings.
or maybe the whole idea is fluxed up, I don't know....
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
"(yeah, i know.. im a coward) "
Beats being a black and blue hero. In self defense, I'd shoot a man in the back while he's sleeping.
"Derp de derp."
Yeah, i've done glasswork, flux burns. But also if your using electronics solder, with the flux built it, the spatters will burn the top of your thighs pretty good. Not that i do boardwork in my boxers often...

A few years ago before I quit smoking (I know, QUITTER!) i took a dead drive and removed the lid, plugged it in, and used it for an ashtray while it was spinning. For some reason I thought this was the funniest thing.
Yeah, and exactly what did you quit smoking?
