HDD clock
On 4th June, I and my friend started to make HDD clock. Photo on left is HDD that we decided to break. First, we didn't need any special tools to break it. We used only Phillips-head screw driver. But w
e got problem. We couldn't break it without special tools. Then, we went to one coin shop near our school to buy special tools and clock module. We found it in one coin shop then, I bought it but...

This is what we've made. HDD clock! (Photo on right) I took some photos while we were making this HDD clock and I upload it to my web page. So, if you have a time, please check it! My web page is here.
