    The keyboard really shouldn't be there, but my techs wanted to set up a PC to listen to music on... I figure a little Zeplin can only increase productivity, eh?
    I've always said music makes you more productive and work harder..that said..
    I highly suggest some Black dog, Immigrant Song,whole Lotta love, heartbreaker, House of the holy, of course some Kashmir, I could go on. After Skynyrd, LZ is probaly my second favorite classic rock band. Hell any good classic rock can increase productivity. It sure does increase mine. lol.

    I got 39 Led Zep Albums, 468 songs...let me know if you need any...lol. Heck with any classic rock, I probably got it or can get it.
    3,489 songs, for 294 hours worth of music..and thats just on my small external HD.

    Try you some Blackberry Smoke. Little Piece of Dixie, or Whippoorwill. Their music makes stuff come apart lots easier for me.

    I sell them for about $1 profit each on ebay. But lots of work to get down to them. If I don't sell the drive as working, I'm starting to just take the boards off and then scrap the rest.

    How would you ship 50# of magnets without the box sticking to other boxes. Seems like everything steel would be stuck to the box.

    I have a 15 lb ball of these, and they seem to not very magnetic when stuck to each other. I would worry about it messing with electronics though.

    The brackets are made of permalloy. Im on my phone and cant cite it properly, but while being magnetic as steel, it blocks magnetic fields from penetrating through the other side of the bracket itself. So if theyre in a ball, they wont stick to things very hard.

    I have about 50lbs myself, and wish i didnt have to sell them on ebay, but im running out of options

    EDIT:

    No updates on a legit buyer yet? Ebay seems to be the only option.

    I sold a medium box to someone in Fla. but can't remember who right now, maybe someone can fill in the blank.
    Heck, with prices down they may not even be buying now.

    I found a guy in NY that bought them at 50 cents a pound. Not what they used to be selling for, and I might have gotten more on Ebay. I had a flat rate box loaded with CPUs I sent to him, and threw them in because there was some space left over. I waited two years and didn't have enough to pay more than shipping the box to anyone, so I was happy to see them go.

    I spoke with him (CT), he is a great guy.. but by the time I shipped I would have made virtually nothing so I didn't go ahead. I will say he was prompt and polite so if you got 100 lbs for free it may be worth it for ya.. but the weight and cost when I tried every which way didn't work out. I ended up giving away about 10 lbs of magnets to some kids for use on some type of physics project. They were thrilled, I was glad they could go to good use.
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
