When life gives you e-waste, make… fidget spinners?
With millions of CPUs getting tossed every year, the least we could do was rescue a few of them. Add some precision CNC work and satisfyingly spinny bearings, and you’ve got your new favor...

Very well-built, great bearing, not ideal for one-handed use
It feels high-quality, the bearing's smoothness is especially satisfying!
I wish the sides were much more rounded, as-is it isn't comfortable to use it one-handed for very long.

Interesting take on a fidget spinner!
Other than it's built well and it certainly is different, what else can I say? I have accidentally bent 2 pins so for better or for worse, I'm reminded it really is a CPU. Haha. Nothing not easily fixable though.

It spins very nicely. And get this: the CPU I got is an AMD Athlon X4 845, which is the exact same one I had in my very first PC! Pretty cool!
