I had a broken 40gb hdd lying around so I decided to make something of it 😉

I saw a pic of some other guy having done it so it’s not my idea actually, but…  
It took some disassembling, sawing, and some sandpaper but it’s not hard at all. :thumb:

Oh and could anyone please tell me what things like these are called? Can’t seem to find a word for it 😏
