[IMG_THUMB]http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc317/Mattk50/DSC00039.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] you do need to use a female usb cable to get at it, most people have those around though so its not really a problem. [IMG_THUMB]http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc317/Mattk50/DSC00040.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] do i win?[/QUOTE] Id paint the cap white so you can put it back on and make it look like his tooth again
[QUOTE=Mattk50;24238426]that was serious. what do you want, a usb helicopter? (brb adding copter to usb)[/QUOTE] It just looks like a two minute chop job. Is the USB fastened in there or is it just sitting there?

[QUOTE=teeheeV2;24230018] The finished product 1.0 [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/21082010009.jpg[/img_thumb] close up [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/21082010010.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Should've made it so the metallic cap can be removed to reveal usb.
[QUOTE=MTMod;24238476]It just looks like a two minute chop job. Is the USB fastened in there or is it just sitting there?[/QUOTE] i used a little metal clip to hook through where the screw hole was for the board and attach it to the backside of the eye, its in there sturdy enough :P

[QUOTE=Mattk50;24238479]the cap with this usb is a bit too wide, maybe i can find a more fitting one for that and use it as a tooth cap.[/QUOTE] If that tooth wasn't missing in the first place, hiding the cap inside it would make it so much better as it would be very well hidden then. But finding a material of the same texture might work just as well. (graft it from another part of that thing?)

[QUOTE=MTMod;24238514][IMG_THUMB]http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/brilliant.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] Go for it.[/QUOTE] just gotta find me one around here, is there any way to get one without it taking a shitload of time to ship internationally?
[QUOTE=MTMod;24238218]The last contest was at least a year ago. If the search worked you might be able to find it.[/QUOTE] I did some digging the other day and found the last contest's link. the thread is 404'd now though.
How do I get my drive open nevermind i got it
[QUOTE=MTMod;24237577]Well the money is coming from me selling some PC parts for pure profit so I don't really mind. Plus, $20 on Steam doesn't get you much. Looks familiar, doesn't it?

That idea was also in the last contest. [editline]03:15PM[/editline] Added new rule about being original.[/QUOTE] Ehhh, I never saw that or meant to replicate that. I needed powertools for this one :( Do I have to make a new one?
[QUOTE=BenJ;24239554]Ehhh, I never saw that or meant to replicate that. I needed powertools for this one :( Do I have to make a new one?[/QUOTE] I would say yes. You still have three entries, though.
Well I so far opened up my flash drive and was able to wire up a green led which took about 40 minutes after trial and error. The cool thing is, is that I have never messed with a flash drive before. Also I so far used solder, hot glue, green led from an old pc, ribbon cable, and hope.

Why is it so hard to cut plastic with a utility knife
Honestly MTMod I say lower the prize to like $20 and then use the rest to fund a few more contests. This contest isn't of the $50 caliber (going off the entries).
[QUOTE=MTMod;24239636]I would say yes. You still have three entries, though.[/QUOTE] Here it is, I put a 40 GB external hard drive into the orange box case. Not my best efforts... But I hate dealing with plastic.

This thread totally lacks creativity. Too bad I lost my old verbatim one, the ones which are smaller than a penny.
Don't lower prize, contest has alreaady started apparently. I can't enter though, need to get my tools back.

Some really good mods are going to take more than a day.
Wheres the usb dildo
[QUOTE=Member1;24242831]Wheres the usb dildo[/QUOTE] How would one get a tiny enough dildo?
[QUOTE=Member1;24242831]Wheres the usb dildo[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=B1N4RY!;24223601]I should place a flash drive in one of these: [url]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.37286[/url][/QUOTE]
mine's case broke a few months ago so i wrapped it in loads of rubber bands... I would enter it, but i dont want to take it apart:/
[QUOTE=dj0wns;24243656]mine's case broke a few months ago so i wrapped it in loads of rubber bands... I would enter it, but i dont want to take it apart:/[/QUOTE] Your dildo, or flash drive?
I would enter, but I only have one flash drive. And it works how it is. It's the size of my thumb and spins around into a metal cover. I would only mod it if I could make it more functional.
So far, I like the USB stick inside the USB stick on page one for originality. :smile:
