        @ryanjjjj if you look to the far right, you can see my claim to fame: musical floppy drives.

          @techdisk Thats what i ment, do they not have enclosures? or are the upside down? I used to have a large collections of old Pc's drives and such. had to give most of it off when i moved :'c it was the hardest thing iv ever done

            @ryanjjjj if your talking about the floppy drives, i took them off. The sound is louder that way. If your talking about the actual hard drives, I don't need no enclosure.

                @ryanjjjj :P all you need is an Arduino and some technical know how. (AKA wiring things according to a diagram)

                  @techdisk do how do you initiate the floppys read/write scrolling? i imaging you would need to do it manually as the floppys are limited in dazychaining

                    @ryanjjjj I use a microcontroller connected directly and individually to each drive's STEP and DIRECTION pins.

                        @ryanjjjj I caused the flashing lights by connecting the drive's "activate" pin to step as well. It's supposed to go to ground, but this looks much nicer.

                          @techdisk yeah it does, i wonder if you could get a good humming sound with some cd drives added

                            @ryanjjjj I don't know if CD drives have the same capability. You need stepper motors. Besides, CD drives are still useful.

                @ryanjjjj I think we are going to be good friends. You seem to be knowledgeable about computer hardware, my favourite subject.
