photos and an explanation of how you modded it is fine.

knightc, if there is a Microcenter or similar big box store near you, you can go pick up a 512MB or 1GB thumb drive for <$10. As far as the pictures, no pictures until after the contest that way no one copies someone else's design.

I could sell you one.

cheers dude got good news just got one from work :whistler: lol

now to get out the dremmel :)

I'm down!

Just to give a little bit more competition, I've already created and submitted my entry. Beware!

One question; when you say functionality I assume you are referring to portability. Correct?
Or would you be referring to the drives actual ability to function?

3. Drive must still work after mod is finished.

The judging functionality refers to whether or not it will work. It will basically be an automatic 10 or an automatic 1. You can mod the thumb drive into anything you want, but it better be super cool cause you'll be taking a 9 point deduction if it doesn't work ;)

I don't think it's possible for the drive not to work lol. So I'm in the clear.

I'll give it a go, allthough we dont celebrate halloween here in The Netherlands like you do. Sounds like a fun compo ! :D

im in on this one, i think i have an excelent idea thats gonna win!

5 days left.

Mines gonna have to be a one or two day. I have all the stuff that I ordered, but school has been killing me. Did I tell you that architecture will consume your whole life?

lol wow, I havent done a single thing on this mod except break open the flash drive from the plastic. :whistler:

same here cant find what i am looking for anyways i will drop out

ROFL me too. Waiting for a delivery from the UK. :whistler:

Come on, you can do it! My mod took me about 5 total hours to complete. Maybe less. Do you really want to let a 5 hour mod beat your masterpiece?

I need to get to work! Crap.

2 days. Better hurry
