So i have a an old 160 GB Seagate HDD That i am turning into a coaster Here are the preliminary pics
Painting the coils now
gonna be copper colored
Update! (Two hours later) So the coils are more gold than copper but it will work.
This is the new top, didn't like the sticker.
Has plastic wrap on it to prevent water damage. (Cosmetically; this HDD is toast.)
Going to let paint dry, then glue it together.
Update 2! So i ditched the coils. paint looked tacky. Finished product:

I've been using the disks from a old HDD as a coaster for some time now. The problem is the hole in the middle but usually forgot about it now days
I remember a while ago, I bought a pack of 25 Floppies and I used them as coasters. They're just about the right size and I had them in a plethora of colours.

lol. bout all they're good for.
You just made me think about gutting an old HDD and sticking a Raspberry Pi in there.
That could be a pretty fun project.
lol. so what do you think about my coaster.
Good use for an old hard drive. Although my hard drive coaster is just a WD Black I took out because it was throwing errors.
I couldn't just do a coaster after i realized i had an unused cpu fan.
