Functional Hard Drive Speakers

Afrotech created this functional speaker system using old hard drives and a custom built amplifier. What you see above is the entire system, complete with woofer, midrange, and tweeter HDDs. Video clip after the jump.
Why pay 500$ for Klipsch’s latest speaker system? You can make something that looks way cooler for the price of a DIY amplifier and some HDDs out of a dumpster. It doesn’t sound quite as good but who cares!

That is crazy! Can anyone explain how that works? How do you get the hard drives to vibrate? That's just so cool...

The sound comes not from the drives, only the Laser attachment (dont know the name of that) moves in dependence of the el. tension.

Found the how to. Won't work with the hard drive I have sitting around, but I have gotten a Cooling fan with LED's to light up and spin and play music (blew the fan though turning it up too loud), and my oooold palm pilot will play music., sounds like crap, but it works. Just need to find more hdd's.
