crunchOkay I know its geeky but I'm after peoples used and unwanted hard disks. I want to take the platters out of them to rebuild my collection of hard disk platters. See, before I left my previous company I had built up a 100 platter collection and left them on my desk in my "desk toys" collection. When they packed up my stuff they didn't see them as desk toys and threw them out..
Hard disk platters are cool.
So, if you have small useless hard disks that you do not want any more and can part with then feel free to send them my way. I will crack them open, throw away the shell and add the platters to my collection of drives.
Actually I wont thorw away the outsides, I will send the outsides to recycling next time I wander up to ByteBack with a stash of electronic waste.
