00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.279
one of the most helpful but least possessed and least used things for

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:11.000
people building computers is a magnetic Parts tray one of the most abundant

00:00:08.719 --> 00:00:14.740
things in the computer's world are dead hard drives this is actually an equation

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:19.679
that we can

00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:30.039
solve cooler Masters new master keys Pro L and PR s keyboards feature 16.7

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.719
million color RGB backlighting genuine Cherry MX switches and an

00:00:31.439 --> 00:00:37.320
industry-leading ARM cortex processor learn more at the link in the video

00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:41.719
description we build computers all the time that's kind of like literally our

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:46.280
job one of the downsides to this is having a huge amount of Hardware boxes

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:51.399
for Hardware that are missing screws because someone was careless and didn't

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.480
keep track of them properly okay to be fair in most cases that was probably me

00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:00.199
because of that the three sides of my personality are all in unanimous favor

00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:05.320
of lonus who grabbed a load of magnet Parts trays in the past he even featured

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

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

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:19.000
about six people now we work in a big office and employ like 13 people I

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.960
actually have no idea does that make me a bad manager probably that's fair what

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:28.079
it doesn't do is ruin my passion for honestly just screwing around with

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:33.040
hardware and today's victim was well you guessed it the hard drive and what will

00:01:30.479 --> 00:01:38.000
my dead hard drive sacrificial body be used for in the absence of its ability

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:41.880
to hold memories well we're going to tear the thing apart carefully actually

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:47.560
and then we're going to extract some neodymium magnets to make our own Parts

00:01:44.520 --> 00:01:49.280
trays with well to be honest some tape

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

00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:57.920
small torque screwdriver the size of which will be determined by the hard

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:01.880
drive that you have I recommend getting some form of Kit because just scrapping

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:06.280
four different hard drives I ran into two different sizes of screws I would

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:11.239
also recommend that you get a flathead screwdriver or a pry bar to pry the top

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

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.760
screws on the top and then try to find the sneaky decky screws they decided to

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.400
hind under stickers or the drive information sheet once you're done

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

00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:31.760
on the inside you can start by removing the first magnetic plate you're going to

00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:35.440
have to pry it off it's very unlikely that there will be any screws attached

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:40.000
to this next up you can move on to the actuator or the platters depending on

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:43.319
whichever's easiest for you this can be a little frustrating as there's tons of

00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:47.879
little screws and different things overlapping each other but it won't take

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

00:02:49.760 --> 00:02:56.519
out the bottom magnet which should just be a couple screws and some prying away

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

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.480
definitely going to keep those but if you have a lot of hard drives especially

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.480
you should consider selling their individual components for scrap

00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:12.680
especially the metals inside of the hard drive and the PCB that's on the bottom

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

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

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:24.440
boardsort.com if you're interested in that alas our magnets have been

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:28.439
retrieved and we're ready to start making our magnetic Parts trays the more

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:33.760
magnets you get the larger the surface area you can effectively use use as a

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.599
magnetics Parts tray also naturally the

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:39.239
creation of these parts trays will come down to your creativity but some of my

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:44.080
favorite ones that I made in the office were the stealth which is a hard drive

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.879
that is actually a magnetic part Str you just take all the guts out put the

00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:51.760
magnets on the bottom of the lid tape them on and then screw everything back

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

00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.239
it another one was the more practical repurposed box which originally had a

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

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:07.640
this one has the added practicality of being able to be magnetically stuck to

00:04:05.799 --> 00:04:12.000
other metals like a normal magnetic Parts tray and last but not least is

00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:15.760
taking a piece of cardboard drawing out a grid with like a Sharpie or something

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:22.280
and then taping the magnets in a grid formation in order to create a magnetic

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:25.560
sorting pad sick is this remotely useful

00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:28.360
at all I think so but what do I know you

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

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

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:40.800
lets you tunnel to up to 20 different countries allowing you to browse the

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:45.199
internet and use online services as if you're in one of those selected

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:49.759
countries they have apps for iOS Android PC and mac and they also have a Chrome

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.240
extension the apps are super easy to use which is the main reason why I suggest

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

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

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

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

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:17.120
country which is kind of the main point tunnel bear handles all the mess in the

00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:21.039
background and they also give you 500 megabytes of data for free so you can

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:25.120
try it out no credit card required and if you want to upgrade to an unlimited

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:28.800
data plan you can save 10% by going to Tunnel bear.com

00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:31.840
but regardless if you like the video like it if you dislike the video dislike

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

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

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

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:50.120
go watch our other channels like Tech Wiki and Channel Super Fun cuz those are

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.080
a little bit more interesting in terms of the educational or the fun side of

00:05:51.840 --> 00:05:56.880
things this one is like mix I don't really know how that works use our

00:05:55.400 --> 00:06:04.639
Amazon affiliate code to shop there check out the Forum cuz forum's awesome

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.639
that's what other the reason do you need
