Submission + - Arduino based high powered LED lights over WiFi (youtube.com)

They've started a fully open-source, open-hardware high power LED lighting project that they designed to be modular enough to control with the Arduino (or any other control system)! Using their open-source firmware, you can set up the Arduino to connect to WiFi and receive Open Sound Control packets. Then, they went further and released open-source software for PureData and Python to do music analysis and make the lights flash brilliantly in time with the music! A full Instructable was also posted in addition to the existing documentation for design and assembly on their website, http://saikoled.com

You don't need a fancy machine. The bottom line is that if the scratch is on the bottom, and it doesn't go too deep, you can polish away some plastic to make the cd readable again.

If the scratch is on the top, and deep enough, there is no way to repair the cd. You can tell if it is a top scratch by holding up the cd to a light and looking through with with top side facing you. If you can see light coming through scratches, you have top scratches.
