Add me to the list of ALE willing to part with cash on this.

Maybe a rail gun that shoots a slug to crush/penetrate/destroy a 3.5"
drive.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! A multi-rail rail gun that shoots rapid fire small slugs.

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Add an automatic loader and a rapid
recharger and make it portable!

Now I'm just fantasizing. Sheesh.
