The hard drives are pretty cool looking, particularly since they hid them so well you can open doors and such.... I wonder about cooling issues, and also, USB hard drives tend to be slow as hell. The flash drive ones aren't terribly special. You can make a flash drive out of just about anything with a hot glue gun and a flash drive chip. There are vids on youtube.

Good point I did'nt see any cooling fans.
I like the Dodge Challenger.

They are definitely cool looking. The fine print says it's a seagate drive... which is bad news since they've been failing pretty badly over the last couple of years, unless they've made strides recently. And it says the drive is mounted as the engine, which I would hope means under the engine. So that means either these are pretty large scale or they are pretty tight and again I wonder about cooling. Theoretically they could use the car's grille to let air in, but air does need room to circulate and you do need a certain amount of supply and exhaust.

I suppose a hardcore case modder could find a way to build his case into a garage and park the cars inside it.
