Lately I've been seeing a lot of videos of people who've hooked up old printers, scanners and hard drives to play music. This has been done to varying degrees of success for a few years now [1]. The first time I saw someone using old hard disk drives as speakers, it was in a video some dude made to prove that it was possible. The song he used was Yatta [2], this was a more than a couple of years ago... I haven't bothered to read into the science of it all, but it certainly sounds like the hard drive's platter it doing most of the work, the spinning and reverberation is what is making the noise. Like the cone part of a speaker, I could be wrong but I don't care. My point is that I'm more impressed in the folks that are using scanners and floppy drives to play bits of music. I've put together a list of my favorite examples of people using computer hardware or peripherals to play music. The videos are inside.
