After screwing up twice on my blu-ray I had three drives without lasers in them, so I pulled out the drive opening motors and glued some mirrors onto them. I taped them down to decks of cards, and wired them up with pots 10k pots (WAY too high resistance. The motors stop completely after about an 8th of a turn!) and set up one of my DX 70mW lab lasers.
The result is a 3 motor spiro with VERY touchy motor speed control. In fact, the entire setup is so sketchy that I'm surprised it's working at all. But hey, I put in some snazzy music.
