Take it apart and use the platters as coasters :D That's what I do with my old hard drives

 

Thanks for the idea, I'm gonna do that to an old hard drive now :D

Hahaha yeah. Plus i also dont have a 40pin for the hard drive

 

Is it an IDE drive? If so, just take it apart and plug in some power whilst it's open >:) Makes a good blender.

Don't do that. It might shatter.
