Here to buy

check out Dan's Data for cool info on how to remove the rare-earth metal magnets from your hard drive- they are really powerful.

Take apart an old hard disk. I got some huge ULTRA powerful magnets out of an old full height SCSI drive (it had like 8 platters). These magnets are so powerful you really don't want to play around with them. I found that out the hard way. :Q
