What time is it?

Ricks_hard_drive_clock Rick has made a nice looking hard drive clock with good instructions on how to build your own! “This is a hard drive clock that requires only a power drill and some basic hand tools. No electronics knowledge is necessary. Total project time: 60-90 minutes. Supplies: * Old hard drive (duh). I happened to find a 5.25″ model while working at FreeGeek. Smaller or bigger drives could be just as fun. * A clock movement from your local craft&hobby store. Get the one with the longest shaft you can. Mine was 3/4″ and it fit perfectly. * I used a bit of old IDE cable to help support the bottom of the clock. You may need to get creative to get yours to hang parrallel to the wall. * A six pack of your favorite beverage to celebrate your cool looking clock. Tools: * Hand drill with bits up to the size of the clock movement shaft. I needed a 5/16″ hole for mine. * Various screw drivers, perhaps with hex or torx bits, depending on the model of your drive. * A hammer * If you do the IDE cable trick I describe, you’ll need a utility knife (or sturdy scissors) and some hot glue.” Source : Hackedgadgets.com
