    Default Bunch of worthless CD's..what do I do??

    Ok, I bought a lot of jewel cases of off E-bay. They came today and each one actually had a CD inside! There pretty much worthless (some update CD from IBM for their own software I believe) and I want to do something game-related with them. I had an idea to print up CD labels of some PSX faves and stick 'em on there, eventually making a mobile out of 'em. I have 50 to play with. Any other innovative ideas??

    use them to play a live game of Discs of Tron
    Fear your thoughts because they become your words
    Fear your words because they become your actions
    Fear your actions because they become your habits
    Fear your habits because they become your character
    Fear your character because it becomes your destiny

    Therefore: Thinking and nurturing positive thoughts, at any point in your life, can change your destiny.

    I always use junk CDs as coasters for my beer. Maybe you could make 50 PSX/DC/PS2/Xbox/Saturn coasters with labels from your favourits.

    Make and sell clocks. Or do what some moron with a tricked out geo storm does and hang them from your rear view mirror so as to reflect the sun and blind other drivers.

    I'd throw them directly in the trash. You have more important things to do, mister!

    Destroy them one by one in somebody else's microwave oven (data side up). Pretty!

    1. Make a Logan's Run-type mobile outta 'em.
    2. Futuristic drink coasters.
    3. Wing 'em at passing cars.
    4. Cover a tabletop with 'em and make '70s retro furniture.
    5. Dump 'em in a friend's car without any explanation or acknowledgement that you did it. Give 'em something to bitch about for years.
    6. Find a random neighborhood. Late one night, place a single CD in each mailbox up and down the street.
    7. Address 'em, stamp 'em, and see if you can mail them like a postcard.

    My life and perception has changed, but my principals are the same.

    ..That's some cool ideas..

    I wonder if these CD's are of some value to someone..
    You never who may collect these things..I find the craziest things on Ebay.

    Maybe you can make like a mural with family picture labels on them..

    Too bad you can't copy over them..you'd have a lot of CD's for making music.

    I use mine for coasters as well, you can even make some nice looking ones out of them if you sandwich some cork in between them.

    There is a market for PC restoration disks, especially for the laptops, on Ebay. They're quite coveted because most often they're no longer available from the manufacturer since they have older versions of Windows on them, a fact Microsoft does not like.
