- Nyfeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26I guess I'm the only one that thinks that... "case" looks like *****.
- acejones, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21looks pretty ridiculous
- bobpaul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13He just bolted HDs to the outside of his case cover. This is stupid. It doesn't even look good.
- boogachamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I third that motion...I was expecting something a little ........ less terrible.
Fun concept and more than I have done to try and be "original".....but its very ugly. - bigkm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11that would make a case quite heavy to lug around.
- matx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Would be great if they were working, especially having a see through cover over them! If only that would work :(
- Teaboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I agree, it looks horrible.
- d3m3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"1 is the 120GB HD I had in Air Force One"
You have a hard drive from Air Force One to play with? Don't I feel secure. - Ibox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9i suppose you could hook up the motors and make them spin that could be cool.
- vfrex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You wouldn't be able to hear yourself think.
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Fugly
- spider418, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6wdc makes a see-through raptor
http://www.wdraptorx.com/photos/ - Outdoor83, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9People are actually digging this? C'mon... this guy had the thought of "I have a bunch of dead drives, lemme tape them to a case!" Is that really that original? I have a bunch of... lemme see... badly burned cd-r's. Can I get front page for taping those to a case?
- poipoipoi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4a tar and feather case mod wqould be more attractive.
- splatnik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I hope he doesn't have to move any time soon, I'm sure that case weighs an s-load.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -1/+5This mod would be even better if every nook and crannie was filled with hard drives.. An FBI raid squad's worst nightmare.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Yes, and in order to get that see-through Raptor, you have to sell an arm and a leg. I'd rather just take a $200 300GB harddrive and make a plexiglass cover for it. Albeit the Raptor is quite sexy.
- Smeed, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6I would rather have a dell case.
- titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I came here thinking I would be able to make a Hard Drive like the see through Raptors WD sells, but Instead I learned how gay beige is. But it would be better with pics on how to do it because It would be nice to tuck some *working* ones in a picture frame with the plexi glass over them.
- Create, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4nice case mod
- boogachamp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3nope
- Mystikal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wish i had that many...
- ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now if they could put LEDs on that reading needle :)
- swanny89, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Original and a good look. Dugg.
- enog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I bet that thing weighs ALOT. It looks ok, but nothing great. Maybe if he would have just used the platters it would look better, and weigh less.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -2/+3"Can I get front page for taping those to a case?"
Possibly, yes. But you haven't done it, have you? And he hasn't taped them together as far as I can tell. - theman8631, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I counted about 18 drives so far... Each drive i would guess is like 1.25 pounds. So 23 pounds extra. Thats gotta be damn heavy when its done.
Still pretty cool - foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Quite sexy. Yeah, for an internal Harddrive you wont see often.
- ohmar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thats somewhat odd...
- StarWarsFan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a great idea! But I don't have quite enough hard drives to do it. If the hard drives worked it would be even cooler.
- nuttystool, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0agreed
- syriusblack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is from www.twistedforums.com
Its not taped or glued to the side of the case, it really is just harddrives hooked together.
No they dont work.
BTW this is the same guy that built the R2D2 case. If any of you remember that - spudmanster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0You say potato, I say looks like crap.
- cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -4/+3Eh, true it doesn't look as pleasing as other case mods, but I picked up on the slight hint it was never meant to look good.
The creator simply had some spare time and decided to create this. I think it looks quite cool, but that's me. He obviously isn't taking it very seriously as he hasn't even gotten into specifics about it. It's just about doing something different. . . I think calling it "ugly" is silly as it is never meant to look pretty.. - camintmier, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The only thing that'd make the project better would be to hook them all up in a raid array.
- chetanw, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1cool - dugg
- nixr, on 10/12/2007, -10/+0wicked pissah!
