No pics but I got a floppy drive, a IDE 120gb WD, and this laptop I'm soon to be rid of (new pc parts almost here ;) ) I'm sure if I look around I can find other stuff too.

Just because you're 12, doesn't mean you can't have old computer parts. I have some Core 2 Duo, and a Nvidia 8800 GTS or something like that.

10 MB IDE Harddisk. Still working! Can be filled in ~10 Seconds.

 

Edit: Added image of the back side

 

Nice old drive! Do you know if it uses voice coil or stepper motor for the Read/write arm?

I'm pretty sure it will take quite a bit longer to fill than 10 seconds, those drives have like 400kps or less for write speeds.

Old shit no one cares about but me.
