He's put a 500gb HDD in a fancy black perspex box. He hasn't even run the cables properly, which would leave me to believe this is removable (thank god). Hardly a "mod" at all, he hasn't "modded" a single playstation component.
hmm i see your point, nethertheless he does have the thing welded on there using a chemical you probably cant pronounce, (read his description) plus i cant imagain it was to easy, it isnt the most ideal way to get a HDD that size BUT it is said it was for a project. somehow i think he passed ;)
From guy: "Also, if you're going to **bleep** it off, please offer a bit more feedback than "man, that's ugly.""
Comments: "What exactly is that monstrosity?", "god **bleep** thats ugly, but i cant do that so good work nonetheless.", "I'll be honest dude... looks F U G L Y", "Thats what the Xbox 360 would of looked like if it had the power brick internal. ", "to be honest, it looks crap."
...if you have enough time on your hands, some motivation, a little patience, and your grade is on the line you can make some interesting things happen (message for the kiddies). I wonder what he got on this project and what the REST of his grades were for that term in his other subjects. Cheers to you for not making a volcano, or a tornado in a 2 liter bottle! Although both those projects rocked hard in the 2nd grade!!
Pimped his PS3 HDD...no...Pumped it up, yes. This is the Reebok Pump of mods lol! I joke but I still think this is pretty cool he's did something he can be proud of :)
Good for him though, but why did he modify the angles? If Iw ere him, I would ahve put the placement on the bottom so the wires were invisible, and the eliptical shape could be preserved.
but you could pop a usb connector on it and designed it as a ps3 inspired hdd case.. or even made it to fit under the ps3 and made it for multiple hard drives. but all in all an interesting piece of work..
I have a 360 but this comment on that page made me crack up "That's what the 360 would have looked like if the power brick was eternal" lmao I'm sorry but that's fuc*ing hilarious...sad cause I love my 360, lmao woo
What does the holder do? Does it allow you to use normal IDE and SATA 3.5" HDD's or is it the smaller 2.5" SATA HDDs? Because if it's the second one, then there's really no point to it.
...........i did that 4 years ago and got an A, seriously this lad did this to get a high school qualification, i know the marking critirea for that unit and he isnt going to do very well, poor school project.
But, in all seriousness, an extra 500GB WOULD be handy. If only he could have implemented it more subtly :P Good work to him though, he somewhat followed the style and did something I couldn't :3
