What I do with dead hdd:
1) remove cover and put it a hdd box (plastic stuff) so it can look good on my shelves

2) get some heavy bricks, an axe, a hammer and a beitelkeuh and try to remove the platters. It wasn't realy easy, because I did that with a SCSI drive with hex screws everywhere and no screwdriver that could remove them :grum: .
