Special Offer !!!

Those who want to do this DIY but got no HDD magnet.. NO WORRY !! You just need MONEY ! hahaha

Go buy a 40 - 80 GB HDD (Serial ATA is the best).. then pass it to me..
I will exchange with HDD magnets :) heheh..

Buy Seagate Barracuda 80GB SATA with 8Mb Cache.. because I need that.. I mean.. because the HDD magnet are more powerful and it is more useful for this DIY..

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

----------

Anyway.. HDD magnet can be easily found if you try to dig out those big dustbins behind ImBi Plaza and Low Yatt... YOu can get lot's of spoiled HDD.. Then you korek the Magnet from there.

Note : I found a working 40X CD ROM drive once last 2 years in Penang's shopping complex dustbin... :) hehehe.

You might get lucky..

JL sipek gao katuk people... since when u get profit from DIY garage lah? :lol: JK JK... hehhe... here is the attached pic of the magnet for those without any idea.

HDD magnet is the strongest..
Those sub-woofer magnets are also quite strong.. can try that..
Or.. built a solenoid to run OFF electricity.. But.. not worth it lah.

[netmatrix]

The screws are called TORX screws. U can buy the torx screwdrivers form hardware shop, machinery shop or your local handphone shop. If u go low yatt sure can get one.
