I like to shoot, I've got a friend that is also a computer geek that also likes to shoot. We've started shooting faulty hardware and sharing it with each other, he shot a CD-ROM drive so I had to one-up him Here are the results:

Make sure you recycle those parts after you're done abusing them. Dangerous chemicals can leach out if they end up in a landfill.

Seriously check into recycling them, there is a place here in town and I've taken car loads of junk to them. Much better than going to a landfill with the stuff.

Somehow I doubt that... The closest hole, thats a .40 caliber hole through the platter itself. I'm not sure how many platters it had to begin with, but it's only got one now...

I saw in a gallery that an artist had cut a bunch of old mobos and other circuit boards into the shape of galloping horses. One of the best pieces I've seen in a while.
