WTB: Dead IDE Hard Drive

Hey all!

I am a teacher working on an educational project and I need an old, preferably dead IDE hard drive. I say "preferably dead" because I hate to destroy functioning devices, and this drive will be disassembled. Since I'm looking for something old and dead, I'm not willing to fork over too much money, but name your price. It's for the education of my students, so charity will of course be accepted as well (I'll pay S&H if requested).

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! You can e-mail me: tap3 at cox dot net
