If I read you right I believe you have a fundamental problem with your magnets. You say you broke them in half to get 1 pole. When you break a magnet into half, or any number of pieces, you get smaller magnets with 2 poles each. I believe the problem with using hard drive magnets is that the poles run the length of the magnet when what you need is magnets that have poles on the face.
I believe there are a few posts here of folks using hard drive magnets.
Except for the magnets it looks like a beautiful set up. I'll bet our hosts would be happy to sell and ship you some magnets.
Good luck,
-Henry

Thank-you! I didn't realize they were magnetized that way. I'm sitting here playing with a HD and neo and you are certainly right.
