    1) Sell them on e-bay, idiots will buy just about anything there
    2) Use them as paper weights
    3) Throw them at people I don't like.
    I am disrespectful to dirt!

    Those HD's are pretty small, I would consider them no big loss, in fact I probably would give them away. Just find somebody I liked whose computer needs weren't too demanding. My grandma for example, or a student group that does community service, or a church (make sure to clean the previous user's pr0n off first!)

    hah, I agree with selling it on e-bay and ask the others to pay for the shipping. Set the reserve to 50 (or a hundred)dollars, and see if anyone will buy them.

    I had my maxter 30mb taken apart for my speech class. It was fun to play with them.

    Well, if I came into a nice stash of small harddrives...

    I'd dig up more spare parts out of my garage and put together a couple of frankenstein comps for non-savy family members that just want to get online for e-mail.

    Or I'd end up donating them to a school. LOL...forgive me for not including the church. Some preachers around here drive new porches. But come on...don't take advantage of inexperienced ebayer's!

    I think you should buy a HDD RACK, and use them as fast (relative to CD-ROMs) HDD-RW, if I can say in such way. It is much better to use, because the file system is the same, and much bigger (2.1GB vs 0.7GB).
    You may store films there. Or use it to share data with your friends.

    A HDD RACK is a box where you can insert your HDDs wothout opening a case.
    It is inserted in a 5.25" case slot.
