We all know that when an old laptop battery no longer manages to keep your computer running for a very long time, there could still be a few individual cells that are worth salvaging. This, however, is not without its risks; but there are other parts of a computer that could continue to serve a purpose in the homes of flashaholics. Salvaging the neodymium magnet form a discarded hard drive should be a risk-free operation as long as you keep your credit cards at a safe distance and avoid getting your skin caught between the magnet and a metal surface.
The onces I have seen all have holes in them which makes it easy to screw them onto the wall. Even when covered with a layer or two of duct tape, they can easily hold a single AA light (with a battery installed).
The photos are proof of concept rather than a permanent solution - I'm sure it could be done in a much more aesthetically appealing fashion.
The donor in this case had a storage capacity of a whopping 850 MB!! I wonder if it is older than the youngest members on this forum...
