1) Pull all the harddrives. First, tell them that Department of Defense standards don't require the drives to be destroyed to be wiped. When they don't listen, dump all the harddrives in saltwater buckets and leave 'em there for a while.

2) Find cheap compatible harddrives from other places.

3) Get the computers working.

4) Donate to charity or sell on eBay.



imho that's still the best thing to do with them. Scrapping is destroying them.

Doesn't look particularly enviro-friendly, considering you generate a lot of waste product consisting of acids and amalgam.

My teacher is encouraging me to improve the process shown to make it safer

but I think he stopped caring about enviro friendly when I said I may not be able to continue my experiment because I dont have an industrial smelter
