These computer parts are very common, and come in a couple of standardized formats. But, useful to keep around! 

The inside is esthetically very pleasing, but I'm mostly there for the magnets that are on the inside. Additionally, I wonder what can be done with the "voice coils" and other magnetic field related components, as these can be interesting sound sources when amplified.

<sup>Materiality; volgens mij is er ook iets met een wegschrijfstrategie die goed is voor de lifespan op harddrives door het aantal rotations dat nodig is zo min mogelijk te houden?</sup>
