Category Image Hard drive clocks... 


 Here's some pretty cool hard drive clocks I'd love to build, but don't have the patients or talent for:

This clock is neat because it uses LED's to project the hands on the platters.  Some YouTube video is here:

Another clock uses the mechanisms of the drive to move the platters and the drive heads to indicate the time.  I like this one since it uses a non-standard method for displaying the time.  Way cool.

The original site is in German, so I liked to the Hack-A-Day site.  I stole this picture from there too:

It's 3:15 or 3:20 or so from what I can tell.  Head on over to hackaday.com and check it out.
