If it had been something that I had worked with, or especially worked on ,
I might have thought of that.  I had a co-worker back then that used to do
something similar with old hard drives that had quit working.  Hewas a
woodworker, I guess, and would build a little case, with one side being
glass, take the cover of the drive and display itin the cases.

He had one or two there in the office.
