Default Magnets from old PCs?

Are there usable magnets in old computers that might be good for making
things in a woodshop - like magnetic featherboards?


Yup, in the hard drives.

And if so, are
they worth the trouble of getting them out?


Couple screws, 10 minutes per drive maybe, 2 very strong magnets. The
blood blisters are a free benefit if you choose to look at it that way.
