Recycle my computer the lightsaber way
My computer recently quit on me, and rather than just chuck the thing in the trash (aka eco-friendly recycle it) I'd like to see what I can reuse from it. Certain working components like the DVD drives will be sold, but can you guys help me think of interesting things I could pull out that could add to my next lightsaber?
I guess I've been inspired by Slothfurnace's creative use of old things. I see a bunch of wiring I can use, and I could fashion some circuitboard cards from my old video card. Fan motors maybe?
Anyone have any good ideas?

Take it all apart imo. Floppy = several drive motors PCB w/usable components. DVD = motors, small magnets, lasers, optics, PCB w/usable components. MB heat sinks, PCB w/usable components. Chassis = switches , wires. Power supply = heat sinks. Hard drives = lot of shiny nice parts plus the coveted platter holder parts. Take your time with a cutting wheel to get the motor coils out undamaged.
