00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,279
one of the most helpful but least possessed and least used things for

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:11,000
people building computers is a magnetic Parts tray one of the most abundant

3
00:00:08,719 --> 00:00:14,740
things in the computer's world are dead hard drives this is actually an equation

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:19,679
that we can

5
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:30,039
solve cooler Masters new master keys Pro L and PR s keyboards feature 16.7

industry-leading ARM cortex processor learn more at the link in the video

8
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:41,719
description we build computers all the time that's kind of like literally our

9
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:46,280
job one of the downsides to this is having a huge amount of Hardware boxes

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:51,399
for Hardware that are missing screws because someone was careless and didn't

11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,480
keep track of them properly okay to be fair in most cases that was probably me

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,199
because of that the three sides of my personality are all in unanimous favor

13
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:05,320
of lonus who grabbed a load of magnet Parts trays in the past he even featured

14
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,680
them in a handy Tech under 100 episode 3 which you can check out up here these

15
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:13,119
were great but he bought them when we worked in a house and had a company of

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:19,000
about six people now we work in a big office and employ like 13 people I

17
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,960
actually have no idea does that make me a bad manager probably that's fair what

18
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:28,079
it doesn't do is ruin my passion for honestly just screwing around with

19
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:33,040
hardware and today's victim was well you guessed it the hard drive and what will

20
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:38,000
my dead hard drive sacrificial body be used for in the absence of its ability

21
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,880
to hold memories well we're going to tear the thing apart carefully actually

22
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,560
and then we're going to extract some neodymium magnets to make our own Parts

23
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,280
trays with well to be honest some tape

24
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:53,079
and any random object we can actually get our hands on you're going to need a

25
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,920
small torque screwdriver the size of which will be determined by the hard

26
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:01,880
drive that you have I recommend getting some form of Kit because just scrapping

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:06,280
four different hard drives I ran into two different sizes of screws I would

28
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:11,239
also recommend that you get a flathead screwdriver or a pry bar to pry the top

29
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:15,560
off and now that that's out of the way here we go unscrew all the visible

30
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,760
screws on the top and then try to find the sneaky decky screws they decided to

31
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:24,400
hind under stickers or the drive information sheet once you're done

32
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:28,280
removing all of these pry the top of the freaking hard drive off now that you're

33
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,760
on the inside you can start by removing the first magnetic plate you're going to

34
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:35,440
have to pry it off it's very unlikely that there will be any screws attached

35
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:40,000
to this next up you can move on to the actuator or the platters depending on

36
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:43,319
whichever's easiest for you this can be a little frustrating as there's tons of

37
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:47,879
little screws and different things overlapping each other but it won't take

38
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:51,640
all that long and once you're done removing all of that it's time to work

39
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,519
out the bottom magnet which should just be a couple screws and some prying away

40
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:01,519
from Freedom now for today's video we're going to be using the magnets so we're

41
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,480
definitely going to keep those but if you have a lot of hard drives especially

42
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,480
you should consider selling their individual components for scrap

43
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:12,680
especially the metals inside of the hard drive and the PCB that's on the bottom

44
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:16,640
of the drive they can all be sold not for a ton of money mind you but if you

45
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,959
have a lot of drives with a little bit of time you can turn a profit check out

46
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,440
boardsort.com if you're interested in that alas our magnets have been

47
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,439
retrieved and we're ready to start making our magnetic Parts trays the more

48
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,760
magnets you get the larger the surface area you can effectively use use as a

49
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,599
magnetics Parts tray also naturally the

50
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:39,239
creation of these parts trays will come down to your creativity but some of my

51
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:44,080
favorite ones that I made in the office were the stealth which is a hard drive

52
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:47,879
that is actually a magnetic part Str you just take all the guts out put the

53
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:51,760
magnets on the bottom of the lid tape them on and then screw everything back

54
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,360
together so it looks like a hard drive I know I'm kind of weird don't worry about

55
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,239
it another one was the more practical repurposed box which originally had a

56
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:03,640
space pen in it I just tap the magnets to the bottom of the outside of the box

57
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:07,640
this one has the added practicality of being able to be magnetically stuck to

58
00:04:05,799 --> 00:04:12,000
other metals like a normal magnetic Parts tray and last but not least is

59
00:04:09,959 --> 00:04:15,760
taking a piece of cardboard drawing out a grid with like a Sharpie or something

60
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:22,280
and then taping the magnets in a grid formation in order to create a magnetic

61
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:25,560
sorting pad sick is this remotely useful

62
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:28,360
at all I think so but what do I know you

63
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:32,280
tell me hit me up on Twitter Luke LFR and let me know if you've met made one

64
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:36,960
of your own tunnel bear is the easy to use VPN app for mobile and desktop that

65
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:40,800
lets you tunnel to up to 20 different countries allowing you to browse the

66
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,199
internet and use online services as if you're in one of those selected

67
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,759
countries they have apps for iOS Android PC and mac and they also have a Chrome

68
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:53,240
extension the apps are super easy to use which is the main reason why I suggest

69
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:58,639
tunnel bear you just pick a country in the app turn tunnel bear on and watch as

70
00:04:55,919 --> 00:05:02,600
this truck and a bear tunnel you all the way to your new location when you pick a

71
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:09,960
country and turn tunnel bear on two things happen your connection gets encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption

72
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:13,960
and your public IP address gets switched so you show up as if you're in that

73
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,120
country which is kind of the main point tunnel bear handles all the mess in the

74
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,039
background and they also give you 500 megabytes of data for free so you can

75
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,120
try it out no credit card required and if you want to upgrade to an unlimited

76
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,800
data plan you can save 10% by going to Tunnel bear.com

77
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,840
but regardless if you like the video like it if you dislike the video dislike

78
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:37,800
it get subscribed if you haven't done that yet I like we've been around for a

79
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,759
while man just click the button it's not that hard if you want a shirt you can

80
00:05:39,479 --> 00:05:46,560
get one at the link in the description below if you think that little not that hard comment was me being a dick you can

81
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:50,120
go watch our other channels like Tech Wiki and Channel Super Fun cuz those are

82
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,080
a little bit more interesting in terms of the educational or the fun side of

83
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,880
things this one is like mix I don't really know how that works use our

Amazon affiliate code to shop there check out the Forum cuz forum's awesome

85
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,639
that's what other the reason do you need
