So for Friday night, myself and my friends got rather board. And as the resident "Things collector" i got 2 Maxtor touch sense 2 external hardrives. However those who were alive in 2000's know Maxtor went bankrupt and haven't made hardrives for a very long time. One of these drive i got BRAND NEW, in box at a flea market. sadly time got to the platters first, i spent a few hours trying to reformat or partition them and all i got was write errors. I tried different utility's with no avail and decided to cut my losses, so i asked the boys what we should do with them? Immediately my friend had an idea, to bring out his 9mm and see how a hardrive would fair! We all took turns and they were pretty hard to hit (we made the mistake of drink soda before hand). We eventually landed some shots on the center of the drives and MAN it actually stopped 2 bullets!!! going into this we all expected the disk to be unreadable after the fact, but didnt think the hardrives would stop a 9mm bullet!!

We then took the hdd's apart after are volley of bullets, and alot of the chips were damaged and all the platters were bent. But when we took off the top case, it looked so freakin cool i had to keep it

Brand new motherboard too. Peak asus quality control.

There goes me using laptop as a monitor.

Idk if it even fits in this community, but here we gooo




This stick of ram has been my emotional support stick of ram for almost a decade. It's traveled with me around the world, and been in my backpack through tough times.
Since it's so old and only 4GB, i can't really use it or sell it, which is why i turned it into a knife. It's surprisingly sharp, and short enough that the airlines in my country allow it in carry-on and checked luggage, so it can still be my travel companion

When the CPU cooler conflicts with the top of the RGB ram stick, an angle grinder is useful..
