Default Magnets from old PCs?

Well folks, I've made an "executive decision" and decided not to take
the magnets out of the old computers. I had access to a dozen or so
that were being disposed of but I really need to start using my time
more effectively if I'm going to try and improve my woodworking skills
- and my bottom line!

Probably a good decision... Do what you enjoy doing and spend a few bucks on
magnets...
There are several folks on Ebay that specialize in Rare Earth Magnets... "Pie"
is one of them...
I bought 100 thin 3/8" dia. magnets for $20 plus shipping on a "buy it now" and
use them all the time... going to order some larger ones next..

I just bought a few larger diameter ones at Lee Valley, and though they are
probably very good quality, they were way more expensive than the ones on
Ebay... YMMV
