I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who have several 2,5″ HDD laying around without a box – thereby rendering them somewhat useless. I went down to the local computer pusher to buy a suitable case (with both Firewire & USB2 of course).
I found a case that met my demands – however it was rather hideous, and being a Mac-guy and all, I knew something had to change… So what to do? Paint it? Hmm nope… Painting plastic and aluminum usually leaves a result worse than what I started with…
So I thought “Hey… Let’s wrap it to go with the new OSX”.
Tadaaaa! A furry OSX Leopard ready portable harddrive.
A special thanks to Jason at O’Grady’s Powerpage For good advice…
EDIT:
Here is what you need: 50x50cm of Leopard patterned (furry) plush (5$ – any decent girlfriend should be able to drag you to her nearest fabric-pusher), some fabric glue suitable for both cloth and aluminum (5$) and of course a suitable HDD-cabinet – preferably one that is made like a tube with end-pieces (around 65$). Then it’s just play n’ pray and you’ve got yourself an external harddrive to go with Leopard.
