It's Floppy Drives used as Musical Instruments Day

(A few years ago I posted Bodensee's machine for converting keyboard presses directly into floppy drive music, but he's hardly the only one to be doing this)

Pawel Zadroziniak presents the Floppotron!

Hawaii 5-0
Pokemon Theme
Zelda Overworld Theme
Still Alive (Portal)
20th Century Fox Fanfare
Wintergatan's Marble Machine
MacGyver Theme
Korobeiniki (Tetris Theme)
Axel F
James Bond Theme
Inspector Gadget Theme
Mission Impossible Theme

Next is MrSolidSnake745.

Star Wars Imperial March

DuckTales (this one is a valiant effort, but the theme is just too peppy for such a somber instrument as a bank of floppy drives )
Axel F (this one isn't as good as Pawel's, I just wanted to show how some songs are too complicated for just eight floppy drives)
Power Rangers Theme
Ghostbusters Theme
Carol of the Bells
Dr. Who Theme
TNG Theme
Super Mario Theme
