Hello everyone, i got bored of my stock HDD so.... here is my HDD mod! Still more to do but its 80% done. The victim. Taken apart. Original cable. Moded the cable to reverse the drive. In its position. Drilled some mounting holes, and some holes in the plastic to give the screws clearance. The reversed drive in place. Now for the window, masked up. The window cut. Drive in. That doesn’t look so good, so let’s put in a window. Open HDD in a bag All done without the window Perspex in the case, will be flush mount. And the LED’s I will install LED’s and the window later on. But it works =] i will also upload a video later tonight. sorry for some of the blury photos.
yh, that doesnt bother me. its only the 20gb HDD, i have the 60gb one now so it was spare. the hdd does have plexi in it, i only did it cos i was bored 2day
blue i think, i might add a red led for the HDD activity. i will paint the drive white and add a flush mount window. and maybe something else...
Looks sweet! I always wanted to do a similar mod to a normal hard drive so I could see the interior of the drive spinning. I also wanted to make a clock out of one, think I need to up my modding! Ideas I have plenty, time I have none!
no, but you need a 5,400 rpm drive, i think they only got up to 160gb (there might be new ones now), and you need to transfer all of the system items across using a special program. theres guides on how to do it.
