The other week i had $60 from doing a small job for a friend. I didnt know what i wanted to do with it!
Then i remembered that the monthly computer swap meet was on in town.
I found 2 things a black DS lite case for $25 (my daughters had broken where the hinge is)and an 80gb seagate sata hdd for $35
what took me 2 hours to earn was gone within 10 minutes of me getting there lol.
First i fixed the DS 2 hours later after looking for guides and videos i was done success.
I knew what i wanted to do with the 80gb hdd use it as my Sneek + Di setup.
1st I took apart an external hdd i had bought and taken the hdd out of to replace my wifes toshiba laptop hdd,
in turn i took her hdd to fix my daughters laptop that i picked up off of a friend which had a faulty hdd for $100. http://img594.imageshack.us/i/dsc03643.jpg/
I tried to just use the dual ended USB lead but it wouldn't power the 3.5" hdd.
So i needed more power,i went to the shed and found an old AT power supply i cut of all power leads except for what i needed.
I needed to cut the power supply from the sata connection and desolder it http://img38.imageshack.us/i/dsc03639l.jpg/
After i had tested to make sure it worked with Sneek, i scrounged around for bits and pieces to make a box
I found some old cupboard doors a pc case and a few of the same type screws.
I just used the power supply as the base size and gave enogh room for the hdd to fit comfortably.
I cut the rear power screw section from pc case and stole its feet aswell http://img192.imageshack.us/i/dsc03637l.jpg/ http://img514.imageshack.us/i/dsc03638s.jpg/ http://img15.imageshack.us/i/dsc03641bj.jpg/ http://img19.imageshack.us/i/dsc03635qz.jpg/ http://img10.imageshack.us/i/dsc03636py.jpg/
I know it doesnt look much but for for what i had laying around the house a $35 external hdd isnt too bad.
P.S. Sorry about links to pics but i dont have a domain address to upload to
