Retro External Hard Drive Case

[christopherius]

I completed this mod a few days ago and decided to share it with you all. I had a Seagate 150 gig usb hard drive that I wanted to do something with, and a non working Game Boy. I thought it would make a great hard drive enclosure for use on my Wii. I had to gut all the electronics and do some dremel work on the inside of the Game Boy to get the Seagate to fit inside. I also wired up a blue led to light up the screen when its plugged into the usb ports.

The screen graphic was just a quick job, I may make another one on the computer with the actual Wii logo. What do you all think? I welcome all comments

That made me giggle... in a completely masculine way. It's cute.
