Magnets from old PCs?

Probably a good decision... Do what you enjoy doing and spend a few bucks on magnets... There are several folks on Ebay that specialize in Rare Earth Magnets... "Pie" is one of them... I bought 100 thin 3/8" dia. magnets for $20 plus shipping on a "buy it now" and use them all the time... going to order some larger ones next..

I just bought a few larger diameter ones at Lee Valley, and though they are probably very good quality, they were way more expensive than the ones on Ebay... YMMV

are a bit cheaper than Lee Valley from that store, and a little bit more cheaper (?) when you get them through Pie's store on eBay. (Which is the same entity).

"pie" on Ebay is "force-field magnets", which is at the "wondermagnets" url...

it's a VERY small world, sometimes!
