Another hard drive clock

I made one of these back in December last year (link) and then I saw another interesting version from Rick. OK, everyone has seen the dude who made an LED POV (persistence of vision) clock out of a hard drive, and we’re all very impressed (no, seriously). But not all of us have those skills. This is a hard drive clock that requires only a power drill and some basic hand tools. No electronics knowledge is necessary. Total project time: 60-90 minutes. I think this one is interesting as you can actually see that it’s a hard drive. The one I made had a different goal though – to only have hard drive parts visible. Anyway – I like’em both.

   Did that improve the drive’s RPM speed at all?

   WOW – that’s really cool. Would be great to hook up a power source and have the platter spinning as well.
