Any idea's for what to do with old failed hard drives

[Justin Crawford]

Well I don't know if this is where I can post this, but I have about 3 or 4 dead drives, and I was woundering if there is anything interesting to do with them besides throwing them away. Some the heads still move and others the platters still spin but most are dead and don't power up.

Use them as height adjusters on monitors that are different heights.
