they weren't being smashed..
Some tumbled down stairs, and they were all subjected to multiple jarring impacts.

How to liquidate quickly? eBay, maybe in lots of 100. There's always a market for something, somewhere.

At worst, I guess they could be opened and the magnets salvaged from them.

I'd like to think that the person who does the modding is a nerdy little troll and that she's just his bored trophy girlfriend :)

Somehow, those cuts made me think he didn't really have 1500 HDDS. Perhaps he used 400 to do the domino effect 4 times and spliced all 4 videos together to seem like one endless effect of 1500.

i agree. im sure lots of 100's can be sold for some money. i guess he's rich enough to not care.
