Hi Everyone; I've been able to scavenge some super powerful magnets by disassembling computer hard drives. There will be at least one, sometimes two in there. I find all kinds of cool uses for them. A side benefit is that the hard drive is completely useless afterwards, so no information is at risk when disposing of it. (The thrifty among you will want to give the 'frame' and some other parts of the drive to the aluminum recyclers.)
