Music Played With Floppy Drives and Other CompSci Hardware

I don’t care that it’s Star Wars oriented - playing music with a floppy drive is awesome. Can we top that? Wouldn’t know how to measure it, but click through to hear the floppy drive, a singing scanner and a whole band played with a HDD.

Beethoven’s “Für Elise” With a Scanner

Vivaldi’s “Spring” With a Scanner

Van Halen’s “Jump” With a HDD

This last one is crazy. No idea how it’s pulled off (is it real?). Edit: The arm’s vibration is used in a similar fashion as a conventional speaker is.
