Hard Drive Coffee Table
grandideastudio.com — Do you remember way back? Like when hard drives would not fit in your hand or even on your lap? Maybe even when they were about the size of a table top?

- VeteranRanger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's not news, but it's awesome.
I think I saw it online on the TechTV site... Kevin was talking to this dude who wrote the "have fun while voiding your warranty" book..
Well it was a long time ago, so don't flame me if I got something wrong :P - MikieEars, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This was on the screen savers, during a segment with kevin rose

- MrPaulAR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, I saw it on TSS probably a year ago. Wanted to show some co-workers it and took about 20 minutes of googling to come up with it. Figured it belonged here too :)

one word "buried" - jacob019, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0damn I would definately drop $1000 on one of those
- oxigen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is pimp! I would love to have that in my living room. It looks way more high tech than the power line spool that I have now :P
- teh_toaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i think ill make a replica out of a wire spool and save disk space.
- 16x9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Can you imagine the size of an iPod built around one of these drives? :)
- daveybullseye, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It reminds me of my laserdisc end table.
- doomsquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool. Can't say I'd shell out $1000, but I'd put one in my place.
- sneakerelph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats great, i bet that hard drive only holds a meg and a half of data too!
- gol706, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If that's the hard drive imagine how big the floppy disks that go with the machine are.
- master_of_fm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1that looks like a platter from an antique hard drive i saw at the smithsonian, 20 of those suckers together got you 5MB, the whole drive was like the size of 4 phonebooths
- BinarySeed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought they had all sorts of weird chemicals and what not on those disk platters. Probably not all that healthy to be around or maybe I am completely too paranoid?
- Draconiko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'd love to have one of those
- orb_nsc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Are those Atari 2600 games on the shelf in the background?
- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Eh, I'll stick with my phone line spool.
No really, I actually use a spool as a coffee table. I sanded, stained, and put a coat polyurethane on it. And then I put a sheet of glass on top. It's pretty sweet, it lets people know that I’m poor, but not THAT poor. - pukstpr12, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah...this is soooo old
- grayapple, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I could make an iPod joke, but... icbf.
- master_of_fm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i had a phone line spool for a table as a kid it was cool, i could shove my little brother in the center when he was being annoying
- silentauthority, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love how it's tech news.
- microsoftpwner, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0wow this is old...and not news...and lame....and a waste of my time...and bandwidth....and not dugg
- denied, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hell I never saw this before, good story. I would definitely give up a week's pay to have that thing.
What are the specs on the original drive? Must have held a fair amount of data for the size of the thing, even in 1970. - pxabstract, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"wow this is old...and not news...and lame....and a waste of my time...and bandwidth....and not dugg"
And yet of course, you took the time to whine about it. If you don't like it, don't digg it, shut up and remember that this isn't s site made just for YOU. - dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I wonder how much data that thing stores."
Now, probobaly nothing..
Anyway, t'is cool..
- Ben - doxtorray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it would be a bit unstable unless you actually bolted it down. Imagine how great it would be to have a whole internet cafe with just those tables!
- rspeed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Now that is cool. Digg!
- Zelex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is so nerdy..... I want one!!
- blah509, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well it's cool but it's not a table made of bombs!
