hakgipc Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 hay guys i have thought up this nice idea to window a 2.5" hdd (laptop hardrive) i dont think its a popular mod i will try make it popular. what i did was i cut a stylish shape in the metal part of the hdd and i put some plastic behind it and glued it then i put the hdd on the side of my acrylic case looks very nice when it spins really nice eyecandy p.s if any one would like to see it tell me and ill put it on my web server and ill give u a link if u request the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 cool, i'd like to see only thing, don't HDs go bad if opened and exposed to the atmosphere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 cool, i'd like to seeonly thing, don't HDs go bad if opened and exposed to the atmosphere? Nah, but dust and shit can kill it. That could be why you dont see many people doing this kind of mod, as not many people have the right setup to pull apart a hd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Probally won't last that long, but its still pretty cool. Stick some pics up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotChild Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1098123 This guy did that. You should read this and see what he did to have success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakgipc Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 yes.. that guy is only taking the hdd lid off and replacing it with a danger den already modded drive so theoretically he is only swapping something its not really modding it himself. on the otherhand i am doing it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotChild Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I meant saftey wise. I have seen this done before (Other than that one on [H]) and it usually turns out alright in the end. One word of caution - Becareful with the plastic size. Your going to need something quite thin if your just going to do a hack-n-glue. Edit - Nevermind, you've already done it. I thought you were planning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainchick Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 thats pretty cool. Can you put up some pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakgipc Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 dont laugh but im gonna use a cd case cover for all the plastic i need (works great i have done it b4 on my dvd drive mod) the point of using it is that it is really thin. today i will start cutting the LAPTOP hdd cover and it should be done by tonight and mayb installed then i need to conect it with a ide converter to my desktop and finally take pics and put it on my web server and give i guys the links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
