What sounds can you squeeze out from your broken computer?

Hi all
I might be the last one here to think of this but any way. That old flat IDE or floppy cables is perfect for off board wiring. Besides the cables, there are some components to salvage from a PSU. The mother board etc. is mostly SMD and other stuff that are hard to use in a build. But who knows....
Some time a go there was a topic about "What to build from a broken low energy light bulb"

Let's see what sound comes out from a broken computer. ;D


The only bad sounding stomp box is an unbuilt stomp box. ;-)

You might be able to get the internal buzzer, obviously, if you can identify it amongst the other SMD crap!!!

Personally, I always enjoy the nice, crisp sound of SMD circuit boards going "SNAP" as I step on them....

Old printer cables can provide some hookup wire, though it's a bit thin.

Desktop and tower computer power supplies are always a good source of a bit of heavier wire and lots of parts.

Don't forget cathode ray tube monitors and old printers.
