I'll take it.

I also believe someone made an ashtray out of one too.

Or, sell it

Some one can always use the parts.

Try and sell it, someone might want it.

Drill a hole through the top get a gold or silver chain and you got some bling.

By the conversion pc board,get a 16,32 or larger compact flash card and make it a flash drive ipod!Just google CF ipod mods and you will find it,or PM me and I send you the links.With the board and a 16GB card from New Egg it will run you less than 100 bucks.

I wanted to set up a large (55+ gallon) salt water tank and fill it with just obsolete electronics. Walkmen, cell phones, calculators, answering machines, car stereos, probably even a few small TVs and A/V component pieces. Sort of a corroding coral reef of technology lost to the ages.

That is a very interesting idea. From what I've pictured in my head, it would look pretty cool!

Just make sure there are no toxic plastics or metals your putting in there. Don't want to poison the water

I am in the same boat as you. My 4G hard drive just gave up on me. Are there any reputable repair sites out there?

I made my old 30GB video in to an ash tray works great. Apart from that I don't know what you could do with it.
