Here’s what you can do with screwed up hard drives

by Gareth Mankoo

There are scores of things you can do when computer parts go bad. One of them being, getting them repaired (for crying out loud!). If that doesn’t work then you always have the good old smash and build technique, or, in this case, open it up. Get creative. Just like this dude, Miguel Rivera by name. He’s a system administrator who managed to get a pile of hard drives and managed to turn them into some cool toy bikes and cars.

Each wheel took about eight discs. No wonder Rivera had to disembody 33 hard drives.
