Hard Disk Window Mod

This is not new but is a mod we have to try. It consists on removing the cover of your hard disk and cutting off a part to see throught.
You will need a hard disk, a plastic cd case, dremel or similar cutting device, some glue or silicon.

Dremel
We took the dremel and cut out a circle on a plastic cd cover, that can fit on the hard disk. Usually plexiglass is used for this, but what the hell, a cd cover is what we had near.
