It's amazing how cheap old drives are.  This one is a 540 MB Western Digital whose bearing will soon be used in my spinner.  Are there any other good uses for old HD parts?

Make a clock using the drive platters as the face.  SUPER-BONUS if it's a 5.25" drive!

There are really cool magnets inside. Make sure you have a T7 or T8 and a T6 as you will need these.

i didn't have the torx drivers, so i used a drill bit! muahaha.. took the heads off of those mofos like super-duper acne cream... luckily, i had an allen wrench that sufficed for the 5 little torx screws around the actual bearing (whew)
