[Jipa] over at MetkuMods put up an
original re-use for old hard drives: make em into power tools. The tiny servo motor that drives the spindle doesn't generate much torque, but once the drive is spinning fast enough, the inertial force of the platter is enough to make it usable for small grinding/sanding projects. The platters are re-stacked directly on top of each other to increase strength - we'd suggest a few dabs of epoxy to make em even stronger. Once stacked, a piece of sand paper is cut to size and held on by the center platter washer. [Via

InformationWeek has great article on
open source data recovery tools. What type of tools you use will depend on the severity of the situation. You can use live Linux distros designed for recovery like
SystemRescueCD or
Partedmagic (the latter being more user friendly). Security tools distrubutions like
BackTrack can also be helpful;
Helix in particular was designed for forensics work. dd is a standard *nix tool for imaging drives, but something like
TestDisk can help you repair partition tables for whole disk recovery. Most deletion operations don't overwrite the data which means you can use file carving to capture the lost files.
PhotoRec is able to find files in a number of common formats. Finally, if you've got some serious forensic work ahead of you there's
The Sleuth Kit and many other command line tools.
As an addendum, OStatic put together a list of
5 freeware tools for protecting your system.

The people at TweakTown completely
disassembled a new Eee PC 1000H and documented the entire process. Aside from showing you the side effects of too much tech fetish and not enough regular fetish, the article reveals all the parts of the new Eee, with a few surprises inside. Although it's an Eee PC, it's very different from all of its predecessors.
One of the things the teardown shows is that several parts are far more modular than previous Eee PC models. The hard drive, for example, is a standard Seagate Momentus which is made for desktop systems; it can easily be swapped out. Another easily swapped component is the 1GB SIMM from ASint.
Although their (ahem) stripping process was a bit unconventional, a lot of interesting information was yielded from this teardown. Keep 'em coming, TweakTown, just be sure to clean off your tool when you're done.
