Improved Hard-Drive Speakers

An attempt to improve upon the idea of using hard-drives as speakers.

If you don’t know what a hard-drive speaker is, you can find out more from ( http://www.afrotechmods.com/cheap/hdspeakers/hdspeakers.htm ), but the short version is that the arm of the drive is re-wired to vibrate like a miniture speaker. All sound you hear in this video is coming from the hard-drive, not a “real” speaker.

The songs are, in the order played, Level Up by Zealous One, The Moon and the Prince from Katamari Damacy, and Mario Takes a Walk by Jesse Cook.

I’m sorry, but of late I’ve been getting a large number of comments that only say “fake”. While this project is real, I respect your right to an opinion, and if you want to explain why you think this is fake, that is fine. However, if you are simply posting one word, which has already been disproved earlier, your comment will be removed. Thanks for understanding.
